Guess what British moron, your accent is as distant as ours from the Anglosaxons

So suck a fat dick, you pretentious British fuck.

@SammySteele "British"? Just for the record, there's no such thing as a "British" accent. There are many accents, and they were only more pronounced in the past. The predominant features of the American accent, such as the letter R and certain diphthongs, come from regional accents in the West Country, specifically Somerset. Just for the record.

This one is much better than the other. Your accent follows the tonal accent of my very brothers. But there is also a softer accent that Leofwin has found.

@SammySteele Somewhat, but it branched away on its own over a few hundred years as well. The most similar to the Elizabethan accent would be what is in the Appalachians spoken.

[SammySteele]

Just for the reccord, the so-called American accent is what the British accent used to sound like.

[MVillani1985]

@TennaPadManMeOm14890 With an American accent, it sounds actually like Frisian. The Frisian accent is best described as Middle English with correct pronounciation as spoken by an American. You can perfectly hear it in the Frisian "en" (and) and "lest" (last, but can also burden mean, but still like last sounds) as well as many others. However, this was still nicely done. Old English is often compared to modern Frysk, but ne, I see it more as Old Frisian, Frysk is more like Middle English.
