Why don't Americans speak English the British way?

Inferiority complex oshi. .u are shamelessly trying to defend such disgusting act

Americans won't speak English with a British accent because citizens of both countries are native speakers of the English Language.

Who is even speaking with a Nigerian accent? The Yoruba man who pronounces 'the chair' as 'di sheer' or the Igbo man who pronounces 'flat' and 'frat' the same way? Well, maybe it's the Hausa man who pronounces 'pee' as 'fee' and 'fee' as 'pee'

What's a Nigerian accent? Tell me.

We know what an American accent is, and we know what a British accent is. Then, we know what an Irish accent is, and we can notice the differences between them. Tell me, what is the difference between a Nigerian and an American accent?

Nigerian - American (flat - frat) (the - d) (chair - sheer) (fee - pee) ? This your Nigerian accent thing is nothing but a joke! Sit down, take some time away from your gadgets, and THINK!

Any accent of the English language which is influenced by local languages of the speakers is not an acceptable one. The language of Ireland is English, and so is America and Britain.

A Ghanaian man who pronounces 'fork' as 'feck' and 'but' as 'bet' as it is pronounced in the Ghanaian accent English would be none but a subscriber to inferiority complex if he tries to learn to pronounce the correct way - in your opinion?

I don't think you should reply this if you're only going to show the world how much of a cyber bully you are than a logical debator, just like you just did above.

Welsh people speak English and Welsh. The accent in Wales is different from that in England
Irish people speak English and Irish (Gaelic). The accent in Ireland is different from that in England

Someone born in London would speak differently from someone in Liverpool.

WATER

USA (southern accent)- "Waderr"
England (inner London)- "Woo'er"
England (Liverpool)- "Wooter"


Which accent is correct? You think Nigerian pronunciation is bad? Go and listen to the different accents abroad.




Just as Igbo, Hausa and Yorubas have their distinct accents when speaking English, so do scots, inner London, Liverpudians and Welsh people have their own distinct accents.

There is a general English accent in England, despite regional differences. Same with Nigeria.

speaking in a thick unrefined Nigerian accent [Yoruba for e.g] would never be correct. The pronunciation of words would be wrong & comical..
stop mentioning Wales or asking why Americans don't speak like British or why the British don't tryna imitate the Yankees..
english is their native language..& only differences in em' are regional dialect.. ..
Ekiti, Osun, Oyo & Ondo are. speak Yoruba but there are still differences in accentuation.. .That doesn't mean any of em' is wrong, because Yoruba is their mother tongue.


A template Nigerian accent is what the likes of Wole Soyinka, Genevieve, Omotola, King Sunny Ade & Co. have.... the one devoid or almost devoid of whether Ibo,Hausa or yoruba accent. .
If you speak like that, you'd be considered literate..

I don't even know what this argument is for..why would anyone think that attempting self-betterment by striving to speak correctly = inferiority complex.. that's insane

The problem here is that there is no concise way to speak correctly. What truly matters is the grammar and not the pronunciation. As long as the listener can understand what you are saying, there is no issue.

Also, you are wrong- English is not the native tongue of Welsh or Irish people. They had their languages but English took over.



By the way, you are mixing things up- there is a difference between a tribal accented person trying to speak with a tribe-less Nigerian accent and trying to speak with a british/american accent.


Jamaicans present news with jamaican accent
Nigerians present news with British/American accents

There is definitely a problem here

If you can speak English with a correct British accent, without having to force it, I really do not mind. I cannot pretend I do not enjoy listening to presenters who do it correctly, without forcing it. What I find disagreeable is when people who do not have the accent or people who cannot pull it off with ease fill my ears with nonsense in the name of phoné. In that case, use your Nigerian accent, for heaven's sake. Nothing inferior about or wrong with a Nigerian accent.

Nice. But why pretend?

Speak with your accent. As long as your grammar is good and I can hear you, no problem.

Some of these presenters on radio/TV actually have a British educational background and are not really 'forming' when they talk like that on air. For them, it's not pretence. In such cases, I think it's perfectly okay. I do not mind at all.

I studied abroad and many have studied abroad without getting accents. Some of these guys are truly forming.
