During the days of radio anchors in America were selected for a midwestern accent because while it was an accent just like all segments of America and every other english speaking country possess, it was an accent largely intelligible to everyone who spoke the language.

What the midwest speaks and what is recognized as "pure murrican" English is just the simplest and most watered down dialect and accent.

Linguists have determined that the accent across North America is actually the closest to what the British accent was at the time the colonies were founded. The accent in Britain has changed much more rapidly over the intervening time as the population is much more concentrated geographically.

Accents become dialects, and dialects become languages.
This happens endlessly.

Just because the American accent is the most understood in America, doesn't make it the most understood elsewhere.

It doesn't make it "the purest form of the language"; there are no pure forms.

English teacher here. It's true I'm afraid. I'm from Bedford but me and my colleagues from other parts of the UK and Oz are being told constantly by our clients to use a more "American" sound or dialect when teaching abroad because apparently the it tends to be the easiest to understand for second language students.

Now this could be because of the popularity of American media, etc. but the point still stands.

But it's wrong. I'm assuming you're talking about Asian languages, as they're the ones that have trouble transferring from learning American, then learning English.
The problem with them learning American is that they cannot learn proper English intonation, as they rely on American "twangs" as a crutch so they can apply their well trained tonal recognition to it.
What that means is maybe they'll learn how to talk American at a low level quite quickly, but they'll be stuck talking chinglish for absolutely years.
If you teach then proper English intonation then it takes longer initially, then suddenly they can hear and read, and carry on like normal.

Don't have issues with people speaking English as a second language understanding me any more. The American accent can be equally difficult to be understood. RP is the backward way forward.

Yeah, the Australian accent is surprisingly strong and lazy. I'm an Australian who works in the courts as a translator, and with backpackers as an English tutor, but I only teach English with a neutral accent.
Spending some time in America and England woke me up to the differences in our accents. Fuck American English though, seriously. Why they need subtitles if someone talks in an English or Australian accent, I'll never understand.

That's because American English was the form that arised when they forced all their french, german and spanish immigrants to speak english. It's basically the retarded version of the language for people who can't actually comprehend spoken English like the Canucks, Brits, Aussies and New Zealanders do.

Most Americans don't speak god-tier english. I'm from New York but not the city or Long Island and I can say that people from those areas have awful accents. I can even tell that people from upstate have a midwest-to-Canadian accent which is shit, too. Southern Accents are terrible, Boston accents are the worst in the world, and westerners sound like morons. No accent American is the only god-tier American accent.

Also. You won't find that accent around Halifax (only a few miles away), because anyone from Halifax is a liberal pansy who hates Americans but like to take on an American accent.

i dont know why so many people internationally think the majority of us speak with a southern accent. Its a much smaller minority than youd think, its weird to say but we speak like how we sound in movies. its pretty much the same on average except very isolated regions with a lot of history like newyork/boston, the south, and very specific parts of northwest.

So much more strain on the vocal chords. if you relax your jaw and speak from your chest up to your throat it sounds like a typical deep american accent. i dont see why you foreigners strain your chords so much. our way of speaking is better on your bodies

Believing something that is so widely believed that it makes it onto Wikipedia is not "lying through my teeth", fuckface.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Atlantic_English

Mid-Atlantic English was usually learned in one of three ways:[citation needed]
Intentionally practiced for stage or other use (as with many Hollywood actors of the past). A version of this accent, codified by voice coach Edith Skinner, is widely taught in acting schools as American Theater Standard.
Developed naturally by spending extended time in various Anglophone communities outside one's native environment, most typically in North America and the United Kingdom.
Learned at a boarding school in America prior to the 1960s (after which it fell out of vogue).

Danishfag here, my neutral opinion is that the thick Nordic accent on English(not Swedish though, Danish or Norwegian) is the best English.

that's the worst fucking yuropoor imitation of a American Southerner's accent I have ever heard in my life. When people go on sketch shows and purposefully butcher it in the name of humor, they are still not half as shitty as you because atleast they know that there has to be an element of truth for the joke to work.

Do Americans really pronounce the "r" in iron?

I've heard it more than once, but I'm not sure if it's their individual stupidity or if this is a standard in American English.

I also don't get why you don't pronounce the "h" in history. It's like all the words where Americans pronounce the "h" British people don't and vice versa.

Also, slightly related, my French teacher in high school always pronounced the "h" in every word in English. Honor, hour, herb, and any others I can't think of right now. It was painful.

its not a strong h so it doesnt sound odd on the ears, its more because the "ivore" wont compute with some people i think. you could say 'erbivore or light h herbivore and they'd both sound ok

Not necissarily. It would just be however it came out of your mouth that time. I can say either, but I mostly just say "car" because who the fuck uses the word "vehicle" nowadays. Things are cars, buses, bikes, boats, trains or plains. Just call it what it is.

There are as many similarities between Australian English and American English as there are to Standard English and Australian English.

Posh Bahamian English is interesting too in that it's halfway between American and Standard English.

Boston, MA is pretty close to what you would get in Southern England. While Newfoundland is shockingly close to Irish or any other Celtic variation of English.

There's a kind of sphere of influence for both.

There's a reason why Americans speak better English than English people themselves. They have the historically correct accent, whereas modern Brits speak with a mutated version of it.
