English language in England
There are many different accents and dialects throughout England and people are often very proud of their local accent or dialect. However, accents and dialects also highlight social class differences, rivalries or other associated prejudices—as illustrated by George Bernard Shaw's comment:
North American English regional phonology
The r-colored vowel of "cart" is back and often rounded , and not fronted as it famously is in Boston. New York City and its surrounding areas are also known for a complicated short-"a" split into lax versus tense , so that words, for example, like "cast", "calf", and "cab" have a different, higher, tenser vowel sound than "cat", "catch", and "cap". The New York accent is well attested in American movies and television shows, often exaggerated, and especially ones about American mobsters from the area. Though it is sometimes known as a "Bronx" or "Brooklyn accent", no research has confirmed differences of accent between the city's boroughs.
