Same here in The Netherlands, I can tell if someone's from one or two towns away by his/her accent. It's subtle, but definately noticeable providing they speak

Same here in The Netherlands, I can tell if someone's from one or two towns away by his/her accent. It's subtle, but definately noticeable providing they speak with an accent. A lot of dutchmen learn to speak accentless, or Standardized Dutch but resort to their native accent when in familiar surroundings.
