if someone learns a foreign language, they will have an accent of their native language. now, what if a person speaks two different languages natively? what would their accent sound like?

if a person has two native languages, they'll probably have the accent of whichever native language is closest sounding to the new language. but their accent will probably be less discernable because they'll have a wider range of letter pronunciations and stress patterns to draw from when emulating the new language.

if someone knows two languages natively (i.e. from birth), provided they use them both frequently enough, they won't have an accent in either. i've heard a couple of half-japanese/half-american kids do it before, it's almost kind of freaky.
