When speakers have a foreign accent, they are often perceived to be less intelligent and are less likely to be hired.[1][3] It is the same with an accent from a peripheral area, rather than the accent from the urbanized core: a peripheral person is typically perceived as speaking a "less correct" by those who are more educated,[3][3][4] while those who are not as educated do not perceive any difference in the "correctness".[3] Colonial histories could also help this phenomenon.[4]
