How to use "Accented" in context?
Accented is a word that describes a person who has pronounced features that differ from the regular or unmarked population. This can be accentuated by what is called a dialect, or regional variation, of a language. There are many dialects of English, and each has its own accent and pronunciation. Some dialects, like Australian English, have Received Pronunciation, which is the accent and pronunciation of British English speakers. Other accents, like African American English, have a much more pronounced dialect, with different vowel sounds and word order. Accented speakers usually have to pay close attention to their diction and pronunciation to avoid coming across as uneducated or strange.
