Chew on this

Accents are a fascinating thing. Perhaps because I live in Kentucky, the punchline of more than a few blagues, I appreciate the underdog when it comes to linguistic hierarchy. The video below gives examples of French accents and more than that, the très typique, albeit annoying, prejudice against Québécois French by the French living within the métropole. Or should I say those that speak "so well [they] don't even have an accent" to quote the French interviewee. Also featured is a belgian explaining how Brussels speak differently than Liège, Burkina Faso & the Cameroon, etc., etc. Not much attention giving to accents within France though unfortunately. Bonne écoute!
