I agree that Spanish accents are ruled by consonants.

I'm not so sure I agree completely about what you say about English. R's vary in American English accents almost as much as vowels do. A ninety mile trip from Brooklyn to Philadelphia is proof of that.

That R for L substitution you hear among Puerto Ricans is more common among some Dominicans (Bibo en Nueba Yol) The R pronounced J or the way R's are pronounce in French is even more specific to Puerto Rico.
