What is your country's "standard accent"? Where does it come from?

In the US the "standard accent" is the Midwestern accent, even though the Midwest is neither the cultural or economic center of our country.

The standard is the Western accent, you idiot corn husker.

British accent is the standard accent in the world.

Isn't the Western accent basically a surfer bro voice? It's not too common
>>
>>68725129
No, I think that's Val.
>>
>>68725129
Barely anyone has a surfer dude accent unless you're living right by the water.

Dearest creature in creation,
Study English pronunciation.
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.
I will keep you, Suzy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy.
Tear in eye, your dress will tear.
So shall I! Oh hear my prayer.

Here in the Netherlands the standard dialect is from Haarlem, a city near Amsterdam. (Yes, the namesake of Harlem in new York).

I'm in the "Val" zone.

While I'm sure many people here can put on a Valley/surfer accent if they want to, I think it would be cool for some fresh surveys to be done on the accent(s) actually used here.

I have the Northern Cities Vowel Shift tbqh.

This as well, although there are some minute differences in grammar between colloquial and formal speech.

Detroit's friend say 'international' like 'Innerniational'

is it common in US? or just is he a bustard?
>>
>>68726906
"Innernational" is common here, but fully pronouncing the t isn't unheard of, unlike such things as "water".
>>
>>68724976
Why is Georgia fucked up on that map?
>>
The difference between New Orleans and a place like Lafayette is significant enough. The "Cajun" accent isn't really a thing here.

t. Lived in Louisiana for 14 years

>>68724976
The tri-Ohio accent is pretty correct. Definitely division-line territory.

t. NE Ohio
