[QUOTE="Occams Barber, post: 76028167, member: 313365"] There are around 30 identified American accents/dialects. The North East corner of the US has the most concentrated range of variants, probably related to its early settlement (by English speakers) and the impact of immigrants. Americans tend to pronounce their R's as do most Irish speakers. Most British speakers don't pronounce R's if they occur before a consonant. This is also very characteristic of Australian speech. Technically they're known as 'Rhotic' or 'non-Rhotic' accents. If your county neighbours drop their R's then, to your ears, they would sound a little British. [ATTACH=full]300878[/ATTACH] OB [/QUOTE]
