British should be eevee if anything. There are double the British accents compared to American ones. Cockney, London, Welsh, Scottish, Northern Ireland are extremely distinct let alone the hundreds of other distinct regional accents.

Same for the us, though. NY, Boston, Midwestern, New England, Minnesota, Atlantic, Southern, Texan, Pacific Nw, Californian. And various specific regional like queens, Brooklyn, Philly. It goes on and on. The US is not the monolith it's often described as.

Tbf they only sound "extremely distinct" to British people. A lot of those accents are hard to distinguish for non-native speakers or people outside the UK.

From what I can tell there's 30-40 each and about 160 world wide. Crazy!
