Why are there accents in the world?

Asked by stevenb (3836points) April 23rd, 2008

Why do people from different places have accents? Is it magnetic fields, gravity, elevation, or what? I mean, why is there a southern accent? Scottish, British, English, French, all of them. What causes them? Shouldn’t they fade away as the years pass in the more connected world?
