Want to hear English spoken in every possible regional accent from around the world?
This amazing website/database, www.soundcomparisons.com, sponsored by the University of Edinburgh and the Arts and Humanities Research Council, and created by Paul Haggerty, charts out and models English accents from many regions of the world.
You can contrast a North Devon accent with an English Received Pronunciation, or with Shakespearean English. And get this—–you can even compare an Ohio accent with an African American North Carolinian accent.
And if that’s not enough information for you, Paul Haggerty has databases for Germanic languages and dialects, Romance languages and dialects, and the Andean language families Quechua and Aymara.
