Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
Where does Canada’s
accent come from?
Canada sits
north of the U.S. and is famous for its proud icon, maple leaf. Indeed, the
nature is Canada’s most important resource to attract visitors and businesses.
Many assume that they speak the same language as Americans do and in most
cases, yes.
However, there
are a few distinctively different expressions and pronunciations from the U.S. like
“eh”, which is commonly used instead of “huh” or as a question tag. And even
within Canada, which spreads from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast, there are
considerable differences in the way they speak or pronounce the same language.
It seems that
while many people want to be more open and adaptive to other cultures, peoples
and languages, they also want to be part of their local community.
Enjoy reading
and learning what are behind of the language difference in Canada and the U.S.
