I'm sure it's the same with other places but I swear there are more accents here (as in the US) than I've ever heard :P Or maybe it's just because I can't tell the differences in other places or something. In Missouri alone, you can tell a huge difference from people who live in the northern part of the state vs the southern part. But they might not sound different to someone else but I can tell immediately. As for some that I've been able to tell the difference is mainly the some of the London area (I can't remember all proper names like Cockney & Estuary) but I can usually tell the difference between those of the north and south. Having also talked with some Australians in the past, I remember being told some of the differences in accent there too (like I remember specifically Adelaide vs. Brisbane I think it was) and while I can definitely tell a difference, I wouldn't be able to identify it by name just hearing it. I'd like to be be able to hear different accents and be told which they are so I can be able to identify them more easily. Oh, and I've probably butchered names and such above, it is late after all and I really need to brush up/learn more about world linguistics and such :P
