Accent (spoken)


Way of speaking that identifies a person with a particular country, region, language, social class, or some mixture of these.

Accent refers to features of pronunciation; variations from standard grammar and vocabulary are dialects. People often describe only those who belong to groups other than their own as having accents and may give them special names; for example, an Irish brogue, a Southern accent. In England, Standard English is not considered to identify the speaker's place of origin.
