The '''accentors''' are a [[genus]] of [[bird]]s in the family '''Prunellidae''', which is [[Endemism|endemic]] to the [[Old World]].<ref>Liu, B. ''et al''. (2017) [https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/ece3.3136 Explosive radiation and spatial expansion across the cold environments of the Old World in an avian family]. ''Ecology and Evolution''. https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.3136</ref> This small group of closely related [[passerine]]s are all in the genus '''''Prunella'''''. All but the [[dunnock]] and the [[Japanese accentor]] are inhabitants of the mountainous regions of Europe and Asia; these two also occur in lowland areas, as does the [[Siberian accentor]] in the far north of Siberia. These birds are not strongly [[bird migration|migratory]], but they will leave the coldest parts of their range in winter and make [[Altitudinal migration|altitudinal movements]].<ref name=EoB/>
