Did you know that the american accents are the 'original' ones?
I don't have a source to that which is why I didn't say it, but yes. Modern day American accents is closer to the English accents of the 1700s than modern day English.

American "accent" involves so many accents though, which one is the original??
I think the source covered it, but most likely one of the northeastern ones
American accents as in the tv news accent (or as some say, lack of accent).
As for the accents on the northeast those sound like a uk accent with some french in it (h is a vowel) so not quite the lack of accent I was referring to, but yeah no idea..
