I was able to pick someones North Carolina accent out the other day. My buddy John is from NC and I was talking withthis dood at the bar and he said "KNOAW" for the word no. Made it a 3 syllable word. lol. I told him he had to have some NC up in him. Indeed, he did. I was impressed at myself.

BTW my sister, the speech-language pathologist, told me that the correct term is DIALECT, not accent. If english is your second language and you native toung influences they way you poronounce words, that is an accent. A dialect is a regional variation in a language.
