It's interesting how many different UK accents there are.

I suppose you could say the same for the U.S., although the web seems to be homogenizing many of us.

It's kind of fascinating how the dialect of many of the more educated people in America 200 years ago was more elegant and precise than modern language. Even Englishmen have expressed admiration for the linguistic abilities of some of these early Americans.

This is displayed well in the series Deadwood. https://www.amazon.com/No-Other-Sons-or-Daughters/dp/B006MYGL8S

• Description (quoted from Wikipedia link above):

 

Deadwood is an American Western television series that aired on the premium cable network HBO from March 21, 2004, to August 27, 2006, spanning three seasons and 36 episodes. The series is set in the 1870s in Deadwood, South Dakota, before and after the area's annexation by the Dakota Territory, and charts Deadwood's growth from camp to town. The show was created, produced, and largely written by David Milch.^([1]) Deadwood features a large ensemble cast headed by Timothy Olyphant and Ian McShane, playing the real-life Deadwood residents Seth Bullock and Al Swearengen, respectively. Many other historical figures appear as characters, including George Crook, Wyatt Earp, E. B. Farnum, George Hearst, Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane, Jack McCall, and Charlie Utter. The plot lines involving these characters include historical truths as well as substantial fictional elements. Milch used actual diaries and newspapers from 1870s Deadwood residents as reference points for characters, events, and the look and feel of the show.

Deadwood received wide critical acclaim, particularly for Milch's writing and McShane's performance, and is now regarded as one of the greatest television shows of all time.^([2]) It also won eight Emmy Awards (in 28 nominations) and one Golden Globe. TV Guide ranked it #8 on its 2013 list of 60 shows that were "Cancelled Too Soon".^([3])

• Deadwood (IMDb link)

• Available through Amazon Prime, HBO Go/HBO Now/HBO on demand, as well as à la carte through other services.

• Deadwood (Wikipedia link) is a 2004–2006 western drama about titular town of Deadwood, South Dakota during the 1870s. The show presents a fictionalized story of real historical figures, from Wild Bill Hickok to Calamity Jane to George Hearst.

Led by showrunner David Milch and a murderers' row of talented actors, the show has won Emmys, Golden Globes, and a Peabody Award. Deadwood elevated the TV western in a way that all future westerns will inevitably be compared to it.
