I have seen lots of knowledgeable, intellectual discerning types studying in university also speak american style, so its not limited to spoilt rich brats.

US schools can be found in subcontinent countries including Pakistan, yet no one pops out of there speaking like a yank, so that excuse is not valid.

No one is Pak speaks in american English, or any native English speaking country accent forunately, unless born or raised in that country, those that havent and do so are ridiculed as phonies.

Neutral accent means you speak impeccable english but without an accent from a native English speaking country, mainly UK, US, Aus.

Mediterranean accent is the type of English spoken in that region, without perfection in pronunciation.

BTW american english is also popular with East asian youth, I dont think it reflects well on them either, aping any English accent when you can speak fluent English without it being specifically identifiable to native English speaking country is stupid.

So ironic and where did arab pride go? is it irrelevant in this case.
