There is of course a British accent; it's the cut & disoriented mutation from Latin; that the old natives spoke with
If there's a British accent, why do people from Mayfair sound different from people from Whitechapel?
English isn't a Latin language. It's got some Latin influence, but it has nothing to do with the Romance Languages and you're an idiot.

Quote:About 80 percent of the entries in any English dictionary are borrowed, mainly from Latin. Over 60 percent of all English words have Greek or Latin roots. In the vocabulary of the sciences and technology, the figure rises to over 90 percent.
