What is the difference between American and Canadian accents?

While both American and Canadian accents are generally considered to be part of the same broad family of North American English accents, there are some key differences between the two. One of the most notable differences is the pronunciation of certain words, such as 'about' and 'out', which tend to have a more rounded sound in Canadian English than in many American accents. Canadian English also tends to feature more frequent use of 'eh' at the end of sentences, although this is by no means universal.

Other differences can be more subtle and depend on factors such as regional variations within both countries. For example, both American and Canadian accents can vary widely depending on factors such as age, ethnicity, and social class, as well as factors such as regional accents, including those of the American South or Canadian Maritimes.
