How many accents does your country have?

How many accents does your country have?
I was speaking to my Russian friend and he told me he couldn't tell if a Russian was from Moscow or the far far east of Russia - because it all just sounds like one russian accent.
I thought that was amazing because Britain is tiny in comparison and we have dozens of accents (Posh, Chav, Scouse, Manc, Yorkshire, Cornish, RP, Geordie, Brummie, Welsh, Highland Scot, Glaswegian, Lowland Scot) just to name a few.

How many accents does your country have?
Could you locate where a person is from in the country just from hearing them speak?

Shiites have 2 accents
Druze have one accent
Christians have two accents
Sunnis have 3 accents

you could tell someone's religion just from their accent?
wtf

Accents that exist in Australia
Ozzie accent
ranges from politician to full on bogan

Wog accent
Half Australian half not, mostly by people who's parents weren't from here

Abo accent
How aborigines talk

Only talking accents of people who grew up in Australia eg poo or chink accents not included

Like 10+ off the top of my head.

you can't tell a perth man from a melbourne man?

they speak different accent every 100 miles desu

We have 3 native dialects, however one of them(Western) is almost extinct. Also r*ssians speaking Latvian have a distinct accent.

There are differences but not obvious right away ones

hearing people speak with a heavy accent makes me cringe.
I want to hear standard (İstanbul) turkish everywhere.

Lel, I can tell somones religion from their name, their city/village, even the type of food he eats and the clothes he wears

that's not good
we need more interracial relationships in lebanon

Interfaith you mean.
i personally want to preserve the sectarian identity

>Also r*ssians speaking Latvian have a distinct accent.
give them props for atleast trying. Some don't speak even a word in latvian after living their entire lifes there.

We have 2 accents.
1)Russian - clean, easy to understand, a wonder to listen to.
2)Kubanoid- subhuman screeching mixed with hohol pronunciation, sounds like a pig being murdered while being fucked at the same time

I can tell accents based on intenations. The only thing that changes syllable wise is beijingers add Rs to the end of everything.

Nihao ->nihar
Nali -> nar

Etc... they’ve basically hijacked a language

It looks like this.
Doesn't mean that two people of the same dialect group can understand each other tho.

I think the only accent I can ever pick is Melbourne
It's more regions have some things they say but you can't pick it just from hearing someone speak. It's more like a spectrum with the further south you live, class, education and how regional you are

Is it true you couldn't tell someone from Vladivostok vs St Petersburg apart?

Every state here have his own accent

the entire north east sounds the exact same

m.youtube.com/watch?v=Egrfsn2CU8E
This video says 28, but there are both more (some are vey specific to a small area) and less (a lot of those have disappeared over time).
Besides some regions use different words to designate the same thing so even without accent you can sometimes identify where someone is from

I could, because people from Vladivostok are villagers.
I’m from Saint-Petersburg, we speak like nobility here.

apart from some words that inherent to this regions, no

every City does speak differently

The swiss french part of my cunt has already something like 5 different accents that are easy to differentiate. For the swiss german part, there are dozens of dialects, so...

Thats because you are foreigner they speak almost the same,but they are different from each other i guy from Bahia don't speak like a guy from Ceará and they are in the same region of the country.

Dialects you mean? Luckily there will be none in a few decades, dialects are cringy.

Hungarian never had many accents. The only people who speak with an accent are the Hungarians who live on the temporary occupied lands.

The same applies here in the south a person from Paraná don't speak like a person from rio grande do sul but they have similarities

>dialects
no
A dialect is like Scots to English
It has so much slang that whilst you can understand basically what the person is saying - you do have to try a little harder.

An accent isn't difficult to understand at all. There are American accents, British accents and even Scandinavian accents.
If you spoke English you would have an accent, but it wouldn't be its own dialect. You'd just have a slight twinge in your voice that identifies you as a foreigner.

Yes but I could say if a person is from Urals or Vologda

I don't know the exact number off the top of my head, but quite a few. Unfortunately, a lot of them have been dying off in favor of a general North American accent.

On a side note, my grandparents have your standard New England accent, which sounds something like "pahk the cah in Hahvahd yahd".

No you don't, you rotten junkie

Regional differences in accents here do exist but they're quite minute. You'd definitely have to have lived here your while life to pick up on them. I can always spot someone from Sydney due to their unique way of speaking and there are other differences in regions. For example westoids will often accentuate words at the end of sentences more than others, Queenslanders will have more of a drawl in their voice and people from SA will use strange words and phrases not in everyday vernacular in other places. And even in cases like these they aren't always consistent.

there is little to no accents in russia because there is no room for pronunciation words differently. Russian language has strict rules about it so you can either speak russian properly or like uneducated slob.

Yeah I know a lot of yours are dying and it's very grim. I went to Boston a few years ago excited about hearing their cool unique accent but I only heard one person with it. At least you still have the south vs north divide

what about northern australian bulls?

what part of Russia does Bald sound like he's from?

>At least you still have the south vs north divide
I went to Georgia and they all sound like Northerners too.
That whole "Bless your heart darlin' " thing is going and soon will be dead forever.

i dont consider UK a part of RUssia yet

>Saint-Petersburg
>nobility
Yeah, go jump off a bridge, fag

He sounds like a non-native

like a Tuvan?

No, like a person who learnt language as second/third/whatever language

Two major dialects and a lot of other "dialects" on the territory of present-day Montenegro. A lot more on the territory of former Yugoslavia.
You can easily tell where someone is from, region-wise. Dalmatia, NE Croatia, Slavonia, Belgrade, Southern Serbia, Vojvodina, Zeta, Montenegrin coast, Sandžak, Herzegovina...

There are few russian accents and shittione of ukrainian accents and dialects out here.

And obviously non-Slavic minorities speak in their own way, so you can easily tell someone is Albanian or Hungarian.

dozens of accents and hundreds of dialects, which often are not even mutually intelligible

By the way, I think my own dialect (zetski) sounds atrocious. In colloquial speech we usually lose a lot of voices and cases. For example no locative, sometimes no dative and so on. For example "to find" (našao) becomes naša' and such fuckery.
People usually speak standard in formal occassions though, otherwise you sound like a peasant. But given language "nationalism" here, speaking like a peasant is encouraged.
We also have two voices which don't appear elsewhere (ź (zj) and ś (sj), similar to Polish).

Do the minorities all speak Serbo-Croatian as well?

>Tehranis replace every single A with U and use a ton of English words aswell
>Lurs pronounce B as V, M as I, a bunch of other retarded changes and words too
>Afghans, Baloch and Tajiks sound like pajeets
>Khuzestanis use a lot of Arabic words

t. bakhtiari lur. I only deal with Tehranis, Lurs, Khuzestanis and Afghans in real life so can't say much about others like Hamedanis, Azeris, etc

isn't your language basically the exact same as bosnian, serbian and croatian?
Are all of you mutually intelligible?

Yes, with varying degrees of fluency. Most of Albanians here speak okay, and I think most of Hungarians in Serbia speak well.

Yes it is, those are basically dialects, though some are kinda remote (like hard kajkavian, you can read it but when spoken it's kinda hard). Everyone speaks standard language though to some degree, except very remote rural areas.

Scots is a language, not a dialect

4 regional lithuanian ones and the russian + polak lithuanian accent

do atheists look different or do they keep the clothes and such of their religion?

Russian don't have many accents. All Russians speak more or less standard Russian. The only little differences you can find in Nothern Vologda dialect, Southern Kubanoid and Ural dialect. But that differences isn't what you got used to see as a "dialect", just very little phonetic difference of some letters and words. Non-ethnic Russians speak Russian with the accent of their languages. Ukrainians and Belorussians speak with accents as well, but unless they return to Russia they don't count as Russian accents. Yeah, you almost never could tell which part of Russia a person represents, beacuse Russian people had always been united.

many this is simplified version

Every village has it's (own) voice. Practicly too many.

Yeah, it is kinda weird how many we have - I remember meeting a new colleague and noticing that she didn't have an accent at all to me (this is very rare) - it was because she was from the same small village as I am, even the village 5 miles away has a distinctive different accent

if I can understand it without even trying then it's not a language

for the record Ulster-Scots isn't either
it's 100% saying vowels funny

youtube.com/watch?v=fj4w6SCn2ZM

>How many accents does your country have?
note: accent != dialect
Probably hundreds, they easily change from village to village.
We have 3 main dialect groups but out of those some subdialects are almost unintelligible with each other and compared to the standard language some might as well be a completely different langauge.
>Could you locate where a person is from in the country just from hearing them speak?
With above 80% accuracy, I'm a young zoomer so I couldn't pinpoint the exact place of someone from the other part of my country.

Posh,lower class and redneck

There's two types of accents really, northern and southern, but within these two classifications there's like different accents for each state, so there's at least 32 accents here.

I can definitely tell where people are from based on their accent, and I can for sure tell someone isn't from here because we usually turn any "ch" sound into "sh"
