They may concern either broad regional or marked social accents of native speakers, on the one hand, and broad immigrants or marked foreign accents, on the other hand. Larger nations will naturally have several interesting accents. It would be useful to have recordings of the most important regional, social and foreign accents of the following languages which are in great demand for teaching-learning: English, French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish, besides: Greek, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Arabic, (Mandarin) Chinese, Japanese, Hindi... but others will be appreciated as well.

-Examples of **sketches**, or **phonosyntheses** can be seen in the second part of Canepari (**[[en:bibliografia|Fonetica e tonetica naturali]]**) and (**[[en:bibliografia|Natural Phonetics & Tonetics]]**), in some chapters of Canepari (**[[en:bibliografia|Manuale di pronuncia]]**) and (**[[en:bibliografia|A Handbook of Pronunciation]]**), as well as **[[en:pdf|here]]** on this site. They are arrived at by working with recordings after seeing the most useful descriptions available on the language in question.
