Every person has an accent - it's called dialect
there is no national standard, only a regional, thus accents exist,
I'm from Ky, but you would never know it...I have been asked if I am from Boston.....Central Kentucky, in the heart of the woods, born and raised, asked if I am from Boston, Mass.
Funny, to be rather honest
Nevertheless....every person has an accent...because your reference ear is always your own...
...some of the best words to show accent are:
ten
sprite
kindergarden
ball
fries
ice
oil
that's the dialect test, I'm telling you
Anyone you believe has hint of a different dialect, Try this test on them
