In fact, here is an interesting example of the modern world's accents, taken straight from Wikipedia:
"[In Northern England] towns located less than 10 miles<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mile> (16 km <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilometre>) from the city of Manchester <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester> such as Bolton<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolton> , Oldham <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oldham> and Salford<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salford>, each have distinct accents, all of which form the Lancashire [County] accent, yet in extreme cases are different enough to be noticed even by a non-local listener."
