What is your country's "standard accent"? Where does it come from?
In the US the "standard accent" is the Midwestern accent, even though the Midwest is neither the cultural or economic center of our country.

Isn't the Western accent basically a surfer bro voice? It's not too common
Ryder White
No, I think that's Val.
Liam Peterson
Barely anyone has a surfer dude accent unless you're living right by the water.

where am I from Sup Forums?
Dearest creature in creation,
Study English pronunciation.
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.
I will keep you, Suzy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy.
Tear in eye, your dress will tear.
So shall I! Oh hear my prayer.

Here in the Netherlands the standard dialect is from Haarlem, a city near Amsterdam. (Yes, the namesake of Harlem in new York).

I'm in the "Val" zone.
While I'm sure many people here can put on a Valley/surfer accent if they want to, I think it would be cool for some fresh surveys to be done on the accent(s) actually used here.

I have the Northern Cities Vowel Shift tbqh.
This as well, although there are some minute differences in grammar between colloquial and formal speech.

Detroit's friend say 'international' like 'Innerniational'
is it common in US? or just is he a bustard?
Jordan Ward
"Innernational" is common here, but fully pronouncing the t isn't unheard of, unlike such things as "water".

The difference between New Orleans and a place like Lafayette is significant enough. The "Cajun" accent isn't really a thing here.

The tri-Ohio accent is pretty correct. Definitely division-line territory.
