On the other hand he is just a minor character because he is only the presenter of Mr. Kelada. The

The dialect used to be considered the standard American accent until the region experienced a vowel shift‚ now called the North Cities Vowel Shift. Who Speaks the Chicago Dialect? Or rather‚ who doesn’t? The answer‚ of course‚ is African Americans in the Chicago region‚ who have their own (and infinitely more interesting) dialect. Though this may be obvious
