This George Mason University site examines the accented speech of speakers from many different language backgrounds reading the same sample paragraph. Ninety-one national origins are covered from Afrikaans to Zulu. Details of nationality, age, sex, residence and the means by which they learned English are given. The paragraph each person reads has been chosen for containing most of the consonants, vowels, and clusters of standard American English: 'Please call Stella. Ask her to bring these things with her from the store: Six spoons of fresh snow peas, five thick slabs of blue cheese, and maybe a snack for her brother Bob. We also need a small plastic snake and a big toy frog for the kids. She can scoop these things into three red bags, and we will go meet her Wednesday at the train station'. The audio files use QuickTime.
