American accents--New York (includes NYC, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Long Island, and they are all subtly different). Then Boston, Chicago (and other Michigan accents), MidWest, which includes a wide variety--Cleveland, as mentioned, Cincinnati, etc., then Wisconsin, North Dakota, Minnesota... Seattle (where they also say Pop, randomly), California, then go back through Texas, OK, ARK, Tenn, and all the southern states and their accents. Louisiana--NO and the Bayou...until the North of Florida. South thru FL the accents start to change again. Back up the coast, the accents become slightly southern again, until you hit DC. Philly has a strong accent. I think we have a lot of accents in the US when one thinks about it. Colorado is known as "non accented English" and what News reporters strive to speak. But we don't have one basic "pure" English that everyone across the country knows to switch into when speaking to people from other areas. As for example, when one flies LH, the flight attendants speak Hochdeutsch, but use their dialect to one another.
