Where Accents Come From.

Wouldn't it be neat to know where accents come from? Many of the different accents came from people who have ancestry from the same places. But as they were separated by time & space different accents emerged.

Some very distinct accents I can think of are...

Southern
Ausie
English (British)
Joysey (Jersey)
etc.

I would love to know where these accents got their beginning and how they became so entrenched in a geographical area.

I wonder sometimes if an accent might eventually boil down to the influence of one person way back when.

These are just some of the odd things I think about from time to time.
