Spoken English around the world

[morri]

This here is an awe some website which is an archive of hundreds of different accents from native and non native English speakers.
So now you can see all the different accents people have and that even papuan new guinea accent is better than any us-american accent(sorry personal preference ) although to the defence of the us ladies on here. US English is the more conservative English and just like Canadian French the older version of the language.

I love the accent the locals have here. The only example I can find is this video:

Should add that English is the official language, but the accent comes from the heavy Spanish influence, as well as other cultures
