"Excuse me Captain, but your accent is very unusual. Where are you from?"
The title of this post quotes a line from the film *Inglourious Basterds* (2009): a phrase that shows how a simple accent can betray one's identity. Accents, in fact, are not just phonetic details, but real social and cultural markers that tell us where we come from and how we want to be perceived.
