I mean i dont use it that much, but people use mobiles more and become more used to it, plus its quicker and more efficient. Makes me laugh when people talk about "murdering the english language", that happened when accents were developed, ask our porkshire neighbours.

You think accents developed after language?

Yes, standard english was taken from the region of Coventry originally, and it was changed and twisted depending on where different areas originated from. How can you have accent without language

Well, how can you have language without accents? The two are absolutely entwined, since a person's accent is how they pronounce their words. Nobody can speak any language with no accent.

I appreciate that Standard English may have spread from a particular area, but it is a dialect rather than an accent (ie particular a set of words rather than a way of pronouncing them).

The English language itself, and its rich variety of accents, surely developed organically throughout history, chiefly rooted in Anglo-Saxon?

The `base words` are `Anglo Saxon` in origin, Wife,Love,Friend, Street,Bread,Water,Home etc etc , a few are of Roman/Latin origin, however more `complex` words, such as `parliament for example are post Norman tongue.

Compare American English, or Australian English to our own native language for a comparison of how language evolves.

Death, is there such a thing as American English or Australian English?....either way they are both English but nationalised, to a certain extent very similar to our regional accents.
