What causes humans to gain or lose accents?
Aside from a documented but extremely rare form of brain injury or medical condition, humans gain or lose accents according to their environment. People learn to speak the language of those around them from birth, and will pick up other languages or accents according to their social environment throughout their lives. Some will retain their birth accent even after living since childhood in an area where the same language is spoken with a totally different accent; others will quickly lose that accent and adopt that of the area they live. Even so, the person considered to have retained their original accent might still, on returning to their birthplace, be assumed to come from another area altogether. Our instinct is to be as similar to those around us as possible; we are a communal animal. Therefore, we will make an effort, even if unconsciously, to speed up our adoption of the accent of the region we are living in. Our adoption of the accent of a new place of residence, though, will be slowed if we are living or spending a lot of time with others from our original homeland.
