Origins Of The Southern Accent

[old boy]

great breakdown right here, her accents were on point

only place she lost me was saying new orleans had irish & italian influence so they sounded more like new yorkers

never got that vibe from hearing them talk

She's talking about white new orleanians with the Yat dialect. Us black new orleanians have a mixture of southern and creole accents

Accent is annoying(save for Louisiana/NO and Georgia girls)

Holy shyt that is cool

This seems like a reach just to argue that southern accents are more "dignified" than perceived. All White American accents have origins in Europe.

Play this rednecks of comedy video at a faster speed, and they still sound like rednecks:

New Orleans also looks like a section in Haiti called Jacmel.

And I do believe they are sister cities.

@old boy but she makes a point tho. The way they say “nawlins” would sound similar to a New Yorker pronouncing that exact same word.

We don’t say NAWLINS because we aren’t from there and we call it New Orleans.

We don't say "NAWLINS" either fam that shyt is just a goofy nickname that caught on

Some of the southern accents I've heard are borderline broken english
