British nasal vs American nasal vs Asian nasal accent

What are the differences? Which one is the most nasal? Asian? Tried listening NHK, BBC. The difference I have noticed is nasality but both has a RP pronunciation.

Like most European languages, English has no nasal vowels, though Portuguese and French do. Some people think that Californians have a somewhat nasal 'a', but I can't confirm that. Not sure what you're asking.

You need to here.


That broadcaster mainly has people speaking in American accents, both native and non-native pronunciation. That is more nasal.
