"Attempting to prevent accents from changing is like sweeping back an incoming tide with a broom – fruitless and defying nature. Instead, we should embrace linguistic diversity, work to combat accentism (discrimination based on a person’s accent), and accept that accents will always continue to change."

I think now would be a good time to take recording kit, and make sure we have a recorded archive of these accents, dialects etc. If nothing else it preserves part of our evolving human history over time.
