In America, the least noticable accent is the one that television news reporters and screen accents use. Yeah they almost sound like southern Ontarians. The differences are so minuscule... upscale Bostonian. (Downscale Bostonian is a different matter.) I know some folks from Montreal (Italian) with relatives in Boston. They have a funny story about accents and visiting. Seems Bostonians recounted the story of another relative that had a virus but fought it.. The Montrealers of course heard it as She had a virus but she farted, and couldn't stop laughing at the hosts.. apologies to all Bostonians... And speaking of Boston even here in Canada we have some very strong English variants especially on the east coast. Montrealers even are slightly different from Torontonians as there is some francisization (sp?) I'm glad you didn't mention how wonderful 'Parisian' french is, 'cause it isn't IMO, just another slang ;o)
