Accents...?

Question

People who speak English comes in all sorts of accents. But, does it go the same way for other Languages? Like Espanol for example. Do some speak with different accents speaking that Language?

Answer 1

In other languages, people from different regions will have different accents. For example, a French speaker from Canada sounds different than a French speaker from France sounds different than a French speaker from Martinique. I think it's harder for us to hear differences in how different people of one language speak because we're not very attuned to other languages.

Answer 2

Yes, very much so. I can speak and understand german in the easter dialect but if I come across a german speaker of the western dialect, I can't understand a thing. In all language, depending where you are from have accents and use different words in their vocabulary. Spanish is the same way. A spanish speaker from mexico will be different then say a spanish speaker from peru or el salvador. They might be able to understand if they speak slow enough but there's a significant difference. But I do wonder about sign language :)

Answer 3

Yes, you have accents in most (if not all) languages.

For example, my grandmother speaks Italian as her first language. I understand her when she speaks Italian. But if I hear someone else speaking Italian, I have a hard time understanding. That's because it's different accents and I'm not fluent enough in the language to understand right away.

I'm pretty sure all languages have different accents depending on which region of their country they come from.

Answer 4

Absolutely. There are many different accents in spanish. A very cute one is the one from Argentinian people they speak as if they were singing, similar to italian people. Within spain the accents differ according whether you are in the south , the north east or west and spanish people from america have a totally different accent also very different depending on the country so we speak of a mexican accent , an argentinian accent, etc..

Answer 5

For all languages, YES.

In Spanish, you can distinguish a different accent between Spain and the rest of the Spanish speaking countries. There are also differences among cities. Although the accents are different, they'll still understand each other -no matter where there from.

Hope that helps. :)

Answer 6

Yes. For example, Argentina, Mexico, Spain, and the Dominican Republic all have different and distinguishable accents. I can tell the difference between those four and a few others, and I've only had two years of Spanish.

Answer 7

Yes, for example I have an outrageous French accent.

Answer 8

Yes, Mexicans sound different from Spaniards. For instance Spaniards often have a "th" sound instead of "s".
