Accents as well. You can have the rain in Spain falling mainly on the plain as much as you want, but it's not going to help any foreign visitors to Newcastle or Liverpool.

And local colloquialisms as well. I can tell you the secret to a Boston accent is to replace the r after a vowel with an h, and that'll help you pahk the cah at Hahvahd yahd, but won't do a damn thing when somebody tells you the food at a restaurant is wicked pissah, but warns you that it's rainin' feckin' hahd out deyah so yeh better off takin' the T to Southie.
