    Aren't there real regional accents and dialects in Poland then?

    Porto. Lower classes speak very open vowels and even join more vowels than what portuguese already has. Rich people speak more nasal, sembling the people of richer parts of Lisbon (in which the accent is notably more stress-timed and nasal than from Porto). Sounding more chic, so to speak.

    Because the contrast is so big between open vowels and more stressed time and nasalized like in french the differences are very well noticed by someone with a bit of fluency.

    Porto accent and there are even more pronounced:

    Like instead of saying "todas" they say "tuodas", "a viez" instead of "a vez", "puorto" instead of "porto" and so on.

    Something like this:
    Both are Porto accents from the lower class, but the 1st one is even overdoing a little bit (it's a comedy/satire tv show)




    This is from Lisbon. More stress-timed and nasal. In the higher class people it is even more nasal.


    This all happens inside a city of Porto.

    Having just returned from a holiday in St Davids, Pembrokeshire, it was very much a tourist trap full of English people and Americans where the local accent was, at most, very slight. Certainly, it was a contrast when we stopped over on the way back home in Carmarthen, where the accent is still often quite strong and the town is nowhere near that touristy.
