Accents

/ˈæk.sənts/noun
ELI5 mode

Accents refer to the distinctive ways people pronounce words, shaped by regional, cultural, or social influences, which can reveal a lot about one's background and identity. In modern contexts, they play a key role in communication, from fostering empathy in everyday interactions to potentially creating barriers in global business or media. However, accents are fluid and can evolve rapidly with migration and technology.
