| | Two pages that I recently found interesting are “Distinguishing accents in English” and “Non-native pronunciations of English”. | | | They both list features of various English-language accents, the former describing those of native speakers worldwide and the latter covering non-native speakers’ speech. | | | (Spelling is something even native speakers have trouble with, but writing is not the same as spoken language.) Young Icelanders may be switching to English, perhaps so that they can better connect to the world beyond the 290k in Iceland, but not because Icelandic is too difficult for them. |

| | Amazon.com: Villette (Everyman's Library (Cloth)): Books: Charlotte Bronte |
| | Also, May seamlessly shifts accents and tone, distinguishing the rest of the characters that crowd this Gothic novel--old and young, English and French, male and female. | | | While this is a highly regarded novel of Bronte's, it's also a lesser-known work and its appearance in audio promises newcomers the delight of Bronte's observational prowess wrapped in an engrossing audio format. | | | In "Villette", Bronte gives us Lucy Snowe, whom she resembled in many ways: plain, prim, no-nonsense, practical to a fault, and suffering the pains of unrequited love. |

| | accent - Wiktionary |
| | Note: Many English words have two accents, the primary and the secondary; the primary being uttered with a greater stress of voice than the secondary; as in as'pira"tion, where the chief stress is on the third syllable, and a slighter stress on the first. | | | A superior force of voice or of articulative effort upon some particular syllable of a word or a phrase, distinguishing it from the others. | | | Note: In the ancient Greek the acute accent (´) meant a raised tone or pitch, the grave (and#0096), the level tone or simply the negation of accent, the circumflex (~ or^) a tone raised and then depressed. |
