Since about 15 years we call it AN (common dutch), but that must be the slowness playing your parts.

//I don't think intelligence or speed of speech is really depending on a geographical case, nor it has something to do with gens. About the AN: Nobody can speak that in a real conversation. I don't care where you're from, because you can always hear a certain accent. It's like in English, you can always hear from which part somebody really comes.

A classic: "You speak the most excellent Accent without the slightest English."
