Phonotactics are the sound combination rules of a language, and when learners bring their native language's phonotactic patterns to a new language, they create accents by unconsciously modifying sounds that violate their native language's rules—for example, Spanish speakers often add an 's' to English words like 'stop' because Spanish doesn't allow syllables beginning with 's' followed by a voiceless stop consonant.

The Science of Why We Have AccentsAjouté :
Every language has their own system of phonotactics or their own patterns that they follow. And so when someone who doesn't speak English natively learns English, they're bringing their own phonotactic patterns to English. That's what we call an accent. Right? So an example from Spanish is that in Spanish there are no syllables that begin with S and a voiceless stop. So S plus P or S plus T. To say a word like stop or Spanish for a beginning English learner, those are really hard for Spanish speakers. What they end up doing is saying "espanish" or "estop".
Right? They're they're bringing their own phonotactic patterns and and and imposing them on English.
