Can you tell Southern accents apart?

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

This is a spin on the NYC vs NJ debate yesterday.

Only ever really paid attention to Dallas, Houston and New Orleans nikkas accents. Dallas/Houston have a urban, slightly country sound. Closest I can think of is maybe a mix of St. Louis/Memphis but not 100% on that.

New Orleans has its own accent ("rightchea behbeh") that's pretty distinct...really southern Louisiana folks in general have a certain sound that's different from northern Louisiana.

Florida brehs talk like they got a small bite of really hot azz oatmeal in their mouth, but not always.

 

[Wig Twistin Season]

Yes. I can tell when someone is from New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Atlanta, Memphis, Alabama, Mississippi or Texas by the way they speak.

 

[Koapa]

Yes you definitely can. Hell you can tell Htown from Dtown. The sound and lingo is hella different.

 

[King_Kamala61]

Yes. I can tell when someone is from New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Atlanta, Memphis, Alabama, Mississippi or Texas by the way they speak.

...........idk.. Shreveport got a Dallas accent

 

[Baka's Weird Case]

yeah but im from the south so

 

[OVER]

Honestly, no. I don't even know if I have one.

 

[Samori Toure]

Sometimes.

 

[RickyDiBiase]

Georgia and Tennessee, followed by Mississippi’s stand out the most

fukk Dallas

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Yes. I can tell when someone is from New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Atlanta, Memphis, Alabama, Mississippi or Texas by the way they speak.

Yup…. People outside the south will probably be able to detect the N.O. accent… anything outside of that only a southerner can detect…Oh, and West Virginia accents are detectable as well

Depends on where we're talking.
For example I can definitely tell a north east Alabama accent from Atlanta cause half of my roots are from there. I feel like Florida and Tennessee is usually pretty distinguishable as well. New Orleans is a dead giveaway.

I'm talking black folks

 

[Dad]

Florida trips me up

 

[Justin Nitsuj]

it’s like talking over the phone to a representative, you can tell who’s black and who’s not black.

and you gotta really be from the South to be able to distinguish accents from other places in the South. people accent in Dallas and Houston are different but we got the same lingo if that makes sense.

That Florida accent be pissing me off for some reason. Everytime I hear that nikka Jimmy Horn talk I wanna swing on him.

It’s the same cultural region. North Texas and that ArkLaTex triangle share a lot in common

Atlanta uses distinct slang; Memphis has the distinct drawl. Central and south Florida also have some unique slang and cadences.

All regions have distinct differences, however I think it is very interesting to look at white southern accents too, because you can tell the difference between a Gulf Coast cracker accent(sounds like Brett Favre Jimmy Buffett, watch an old WWF promo by Hardcore Holly) , the Appalachia hillbilly of the Kentucky/tn/va/nc mountain regions(Reba McIntyre, most country singers), the Atlantic coastal regions (Savannah/charleston and the Virginia Tidewater both stand out), even Alabama and Mississippi whites sound different from others. Listen to Bobby Bowden, Jeff Sessions and Kay Ivey. Typical AL/MS sound.

What’s really interesting is to see how certain people train themselves to not have a dialect. The Gumbel brothers don’t have a NOLA accent and Stephen Colbert does not sound like he is from South Carolina. I would say the best at this, rest in peace, was Chadwick Bozeman.

 

[maxamusa]

People from TX have a heavy twang.


Florida just sound like the most stereotypical country shyt ive ever heard


Anything else nah I wouldn't be able to tell
