Where do national (?) accents come from?

471 views

So I understand that people from different countries will speak English differently. But how does it work with north / south of a country? Or even districts – like Brooklyn accent?

In my country we don’t have accents. Everyone speaks the same. How come in English people from Yorkshire speak different than people from London?

From a local perspective, I’m from Miami, FL and am not of Latin/Hispanic origin nor am I proficient in the Spanish language. Despite this, I have a slight accent that sounds similar to bilingual English speakers because that was the type of English that predominates Miami and what I heard my entire life.

If anyone is into the Hilaria Baldwin scandal… it hit home, lolol.
