Is there an American accent?

Question

I joke around with myfriends about other countries accents and i was wondering if there is any stereo typical american accent ?

Answer 1

There are American accents. Foreigners would be more likely to notice them or people from different regions of the country.

Generally, the 2 main accents are the Northern and the Southern, but there are actually many Northern accents. I think there are California, Northwest, Midwest, Middle Atlantic, New York, and New England accents or something like that.

Answer 2

Yes. there many american dialects that very from region to region. ie southern, new england, midwestern, western, and etc. I would have to assume that other countries view the typical newscaster accent as ideal american accent. I don't know that I could pin it to any one region because I feel I talk without an accent and I'm from california. I've taken a diction class that teaches how american english was to be spoken. So if I had to choose a region that would be the stereotypical american accent I would go for southern california.

Answer 3

Im from canada and YES 100% theres an american accent
