Evolution of Accents
When you describe yourself to others you might mention your height, hairstyle, or maybe your build. But one of the most telling things about you is something you can\u2019t even see, yet it defines you more than you realize. Your accent tells others where you\u2019re from, who you identify with, and maybe even where you\u2019re going. How did accents evolve and why are American accents so different from British accents?
