Okay..I have what is called a SOUTHERN accent, full of slang, and plenty of twangy drawl. Only in America, right? I am not sure. Do other countries have "ACCENTS"? Is there such a thing as an oriental, German, or Russian SOUTHERN accent, for example? Can you tell a city Bulgarian street talker from a mountain Bulgarian resident? Do all Argentinians speak in the same vernacular, or do they have various accents? Is this only in the U.S.A, based on our personal history? SO curious....Nobody has ever been able to answer me.

well, Norway has plenty of dialects, and you can normally tell at least vaguely where someone is from,
ie Nordland (far north), Østagder/ Vestagder (far south), Møre og Romsdal (west), Bergen (southwest) or Asker (near Oslo)

You can understand in which part of Ukraine a person live because of accent, I'm not sure we name it accent. We say: "to speak "syrgikom"".
It's because of borders with Russian, Belarus and Poland. Many words are from there. So if someone lives not far from Poland he has nice Ukrainian but with some Polish words we can't even understand. They combine Ukrainian and another language. People also speak Russian here.

Norway is a true challenge when it comes to speak norwegian.....
People from Bodø speak different from Oslo and Kristiansand and Stavanger

Interpretations. Did you know that the Jews and early Christians really did not get their sermons in the original languages? They WERE "read" the original text, but most people couldn't understand it any more than modern Catholics could understand the Latin being read to them. What the Rabbis did was to read the original, then give an interprative sermon (called, a "Targum"), explaining their particular and personal views and opinions on what the chosen Scripture was trying to say.

Have you known that the Bulgarian Apostles had done the similar conversation when they wrote Bulgarian Alfa bet in the Vatican :)

But is interesting that one of the interpretation. Thank you :) and good bye
