has occurred in Canadian French. Something called "International French" (a completely artificial accent) was once the norm on radio and television. But now you only hear it in classical theatre.It was fake,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but it was based on something real:I've been fascinated by this accent for years, and have known for a while that it was taught to actors and announcers in the 30s and 40s. But I do believe that it was based, at least in part, on a certain now-vanished Northeastern upper class diction.I have lived in and around Hartford since the mid-70s and in the 90s attended an Episcopal church that drew a lot of its membership from the same old Hartford Yankee WASP milieu that produced the Hepburn family. I got to know a couple of smart and delightful older ladies who had actually grown up with "Katty," and I am telling you that they had That Accent. A bit softened around the edges, probably because it was so long out of style, but still fully recognizable.More on fake and real languages:The rapid disappearance
