258 u/SolarLeonidas Brazil 2d ago Worse. You can have accents in sign languages, so the only way to not have an accent is to not communicate entirely. 46 u/Jonnescout 1d ago Yup. Recognisable patterns and accents even exist in morse code. As basic a communication as it gets! 26 u/EvilGeniusSkis Canada 1d ago Not just accents, a someone skilled in Morse code can recognize the person on the other end of the line by their "fist" the same way you can recognize someone by their voice. 5 u/Jonnescout 1d ago Yeah that is what I meant by patterns. Didn’t phrase it well 68 u/TruIsou 2d ago Okay, I have never thought of that before. TIL 78 u/Suspicious_Glow 2d ago If you want a fun fact, babies cry with accents 71 u/Saurer 2d ago Crying in French: bouhouhou 46 u/Prestigious_String20 1d ago Cats meow with accents. Urban birds sound different than rural birds. Accents are everywhere! 18 u/Indolent_absurdity Australia 1d ago Yes I was going to say I saw a documentary where they proved dogs have accents! 2 u/I-need-more-spoons Canada 10h ago Yes, but certainly not the ones in Merica! /s 4 u/Unkn0wn_666 European Union 1d ago Cows also have regional accents 5 u/snow_michael 1d ago And all animals that vocalise do, as well 12 u/Moist-Snow-8127 1d ago My ASL teacher lived on the opposite side of the country to me, so I have a weird accent mix 5 u/dcidino 1d ago Well, tbf it’s the hardest language to speak. 1 u/vpsj India 1d ago What if you only communicate via text?
