REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE………………….6-27
Concept of Speaking
Fluency is the ability to speak fluently and presupposes not only the processing of information or language directly or 'on the spot', but also the ability to acquire knowledge of linguistic features. Vocabulary is the basis of language, it is about the choice of words which is appropriately based on the context of the speech.
Concept of Mother Tongue…
Therefore, the mother tongue is the greatest asset that people bring to the task of learning a foreign language and provides a language acquisition support system (Butzkamm, 2003). Based on this definition, the researchers can conclude that the mother tongue is the first language learned since childhood.
Pronunciation
There are three main approaches to intonation theory: a grammatical approach (which links intonation to a grammatical function), an approach that focuses on the relationship between intonation and attitude, and. There are four factors in this study that have been shown to have a major influence on learning other sound systems. There is clear evidence of a link between the age of language acquisition and the level of foreign accent.
Usually, if a student starts speaking a second language before the age of six, the accent will be little or no. The type of evidence for this is when speakers of the same first language usually speak the second language in the same way, making the same kinds of substitutions and pronunciation patterns. Another type of evidence is that there is a fair amount of predictability in the type of relationship between first and second language sounds and relative difficulty for long-term success for second language learners.
There is ample evidence to suggest that students' pronunciation changes as students become more familiar with a second language. Just as there is a cross-linguistic stage for grammatical development, there is also a cross-linguistic stage for phonology. The presence of different styles shows flexibility and indicates that the student's second language pronunciation is developing.
General Concept of Accents
The explanation of the previous definition should clearly lead us to understand what an accent is. This is related to the way people talk which is different from the level of users in the social group. Warsh' for washing in Cajun Louisiana, 'New Yawk' for New Yorkers among native New Yorkers, 'aboot' roughly in Canada. Calling out dialects and accents comes from our appreciation of their musical intent, imaginative word choices, and emotional rhythms of speech.
For each nationality there is a regional accent, related to the geographical area and the social accent, related to the educational, socio-economic and ethnic background of the speakers. Their dominance in the numbers and size of the area in which they live makes them the most influential ethnic group in economic and political activities in the area. Mattulada (1982) in Burky State (2021) of the city consists of indigenous Sulawesi people and migrants from other Indonesian ethnic groups who have lived in the capital for generations and call themselves Makassarn people.
Most of the districts in South Sulawesi are dominated by Buginess speakers: Bone, Soppeng, Wajo, Sidrap, Pinrang, Barru, Sinjai and Pare-pare. The Buginess accent on the pronunciation of spoken English has differences in the pronunciation of the two languages. So the researcher wants to focus on how the strength of the students' pronunciation and intonation when they speak English.

Discussion
Based on the epithet, Cook states in Safa (2004:9) that pronunciation involves a set of habits to produce the sound of language. During the speaking test, the students showed the influence accent on their pronunciation. This is because the influence is influenced by the habit of the students in their village when they use the local language. It is shown when the students answered the researcher's question as a speaking test to measure the influence of the students' pronunciation on the students' local accent.
The students showed that the way to produce the word was not natural, the local accent always affects their pronunciation in saying the word in English. The finding of the research related to the theory about accent of barrum, during the speaking test most of students have differences pronunciation between actual English accent between their accent to produce the. It is shown that the accent of the students influences the students in producing the words because it is already a habit to pronounce the words in English.
Most students produce the words by adding a little emphasized and unique intonation, the same moment they speak in their local language, it is influence because it is already acting and influenced by the environment of the students who are already acting of their child until they study in university. Based on the results of the research, the researcher concluded that: Students of buginess still have influence to pronounce the word in English. The students showed that the way to produce the word was not natural, the local accent always affected their pronunciation to say the word in English.
