eli5: How does the U.S. have so many different regional accents?
In: 0
I can’t answer your question exactly, but within the UK which is approximately 580 miles ‘tall’ end to to end, there are tens of regional accents that develop from the communities that enunciate words differently over centuries and also the cultures and languages that are used that live in thst place. America is a sped up melting pot of culture, think of all the native communities, the massive mix of European, African and Asian communities that have settled and now call the United States home. That has influenced accents and enunciation over the past 4 centuries in particular.
