What is the real english?

[Keirador]

The New York accent only really exists in Brooklyn any more, and I think the New Jersey accent is little more than a urban legend; I've never heard it, though I have heard "Newark accents" that are just variants of the New York accent.

I don't know. I have a history teacher who spent the first 30 years of her life in Jersey, and though she doesn't have a strong accent, it is distinctly noticeable as a Jersey accent. Perhaps I am confusing it with this Newark accent you speak of, but how ar the two different?

There is no 'true' English accent. I would not rate anything in the modern world as 'true' English, especially not that of someone who changes spelling just out of spite.

Until english an "Academie francaise" equivalent, there will be no "true" correct english.

And I pray that that never happens. Language should be free of any boundaries to its development - academies like those in France and Spain are, IMO, detrimental to language.

Kiwi english, similer to australian except they pronouce i's like e's, e.g. Feeeeeeesh they also say sex instead of six which is very funny. aussies say new zealands say things like Pug insted of pig but there just dumb and wrong.

You have got it all wrong their MATE! You are the ones with the funny accents. You do pronouce i's as u's. We can prounce six and sex, because they are two different words. When you say six, it sounds like sex, or more like sux. Would you like some fush and chups. Sheeeesh. We prounce i's properly. I am glad that there is no poll option for New Zealand English, it is the worst of the lot. It always makes us Aussie laugh when we hear it.

Accent? There can be no correct accent. Accents evolve with time, along with language.

Me Ingles iz di vezd!!!

Joking of course.
I think ther is NO such thing as "perfect language" since languages change over time and even by years.
Today's English differs from 2000 one and even more (10000000 times) from 18 century one.

Enlish English. Though we have dialects, the pronunciation is basically the same. No darn Yakeeisms here, thankyou
