    For example, my friend was born in the U.S., but her parents are from India and they have retained their original accent because they moved to the U.S. in their late adult years. Because of this, her accent sounds slightly different from the accent of her peers, but not by much.
    Which Indian language do they speak at home?

    Georgia is nearly zero Mongoloid and linguistically completely unrelated to any Central or East Asian population.

    Well, his daughter Svetlana Alliluyeva was actually red-haired with blue eyes. Her mother was Russian with some German, I believe (not Jewish as some claim).

    That doesn't really mean anything though. Red hair is a recessive trait, as long as both sides have it in there family (distant ancestors included) the child may have red hair (same is true for blonde hair too). Albeit this occurring is pretty rare.

    I agree, in so much as culture is a factor too. Certainly the different American accents bear this out, the New York accntt for example, the way of speaking etc.

    Understand celtic origin can be the reason for the england west country accent (the farmer/pirate one), which is so different to midlands, north and east, that all have their own, very different accents.

    Australian accent seems to come from cockney and Irish somehow
