[@souavarocha2136]

The same for me that speak Portuguese

[@ochrechap]

This sounded very South African to me. I am South African. Let me explain. My country has 11 official languages. There are also 4 official race groups, as per apartheid classification. This is still sort of accepted as a reference, because it works practically (we as SAs don't take offence to it). So here they are (% indicating population proportionality): 1) Blacks (79%). Divided into xhosa, zulu, venda, sotho, pedi, tswana, tsonga. 2) Coloureds (9%) 3) Whites (9%). Afrikaners (Dutch-descended) and English (British-descended) 4) Asians (2%). Indians and Chinese Blacks mostly speak their indigenous native tongue as a first language, but most can speak some form of English to varying degrees. Many of the younger generation, and less often the older generations, speak it as a mother-tongue. Almost all whites can speak English, esp of course, those who are British-descended. These speak it as a mother-tongue. Afrikaners speak it as a second language (very few cannot speak it). Most Coloureds (like whites) are bilingual. They speak either English or Afrikaans as a mother-tongue, and the other as a second-language. More speak Afrikaans than English. So the situation here is very much like the whites. Asians = these are mostly Indians, and almost all speak English as a mother-tongue. Chinese people can all speak some form of English. In essence, most South Africans can speak some form of English, as SA is an ex-British colony. Now, if you analyse my speech above, it will become clear to you that there is no standard SA accent, since so many ethnicities and languages exist. You may very well imagine, then, that many accents exist. So, who are the mother-tongue English groups? Refer to my speech above: 1) White British-descended SAs 2) Some Coloured people 3) Most Indian people 4) Some black people (esp the younger generation) 5) Some Afrikaans kids (younger generation, where Afrikaans parents have made the decision to raise them using English as a "mother-tongue", as it were). So, depending on the upbringing and the schooling, as well as some other influences, various accents will be used amongst these "mother-tongue groups" (MTGs). Many sound British-influenced, others not. Amongst "English-Second-Language Groups (ESLGs), other accents prevail, although these can take on British-influenced accents as well. The type of South African accent heard in the video sounds to be coming from MTG 1, a British-descended white South African. Do I make myself clear? A word in passing: there is no such thing as "A" South African accent. There are VARIOUS SA accents rather than "A" SA accent. Is this understood? But a classic "ENGLISH SA ACCENT" would probably regard the MTG1 as the prototype. As heard in the video. Kindly take time to make sense of this! PS: Wikus Van De Merwe is an Afrikaner (descended from the Dutch). Thus, English is not his mother tongue. His mother tongue is Afrikaans (daughter language of Dutch). Please tell me you understand? Never make this mistake again. Charlize Theron is also an Afrikaner. Afrikaans is her mother tongue. Her current version of English has been strongly influenced by America. Elon Musk is a British-descended English-mother-tongue speaker. Trevor Noah is Coloured (mixed race). His mother is a black woman (she speaks Xhosa as a mother tongue). She raised Trevor to speak English as a "mother tongue", as it were. His dad is Swiss-German, by the way. But he was mostly absent from Trevor's life. Roger Federer's mother is Afrikaans. She is South African. Like Trevor, his father is Swiss as well. So Federer is half South African, half Swiss. He was raised in Switzerland.

Distinguishing between London and Essex is impossible. They are about 10 miles apart.

[@sam6719]

not really, im from up north but Essex and London sound different to me

[@jamesreynolds2867]

London and Essex are not 10 miles apart, they border each other, north Essex, north of Chelmsford, have a very rural accent, south Essex, from Thurrock to Southend-on-sea, the A13 corridor, have a cockney-like accent, knows as Estuary Essex.

[@joeking5310]

Depends which part of London you are talking about. East London and South West Essex is more or less the same place.

I suspect the North-Central American is just an interview of a Canadian hockey player playing in the US... The Canadian guy had the mildest diction, with only a slight rising in 'about.' You should have included Maritime accents from Canada!

No they're different. Canadian and American accent are very similar but people in Canada pronounce words like "Out." differently.

As someone who’s from the north-central US (Iowa and Minnesota), I would have to disagree and say this was pretty spot-on for a Minnesota or North Dakota accent.

It is both- notice how he pronounces, "seen" more flat than in the central states but he does pronounce, "about" wider. Also "year", the "a" is emphasized while the "o" in "ago" is stressed. The mix of flat sounds and rounded sounds was a dead giveaway to me.
