Can you tell Southern accents apart?

[maxamusa]

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

I never thought I had an accent until I started traveling and people would tell me

Sometimes and I'm not from the south. I can usually tell some from LA or AL or GA or FL

That code switch accent is taking over everywhere

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.

That white part...yeah Bobby Bowden kinda had a Foghorn Leghorn thing going but Reba, Dolly etc., got a completely different sound.

Then you got the Toby Keith sound which is sort of Oklahoma/North Texas...country but not as "sugary" sounding. Jerry Jones and dudes from Arkansas kind of have the same thing. Wayyyy different from like a rich southerner from Charleston, Savannah etc.

Jess Hilarious can get shook with this pipe tho....her nose and lips make my shyt throbb

 

[Treblemaka]

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

Bama and Mississippi sound a lot a like.

And I'm from Montgomery.

What the fukk nobody asked for that unsolicited insight, keep that goofy shyt to yourself

The amount of alcohol can definitely make it sound like gibberish; also on another note, I don’t know too many things worse than talking to a country white man while they are chewing tobacco or have a pouch in their mouth. shyt is disgusting
