@TallulahBlue being from the South..I thought it might interest you.

Southern dialects originated in large part from a mix of immigrants from the British Isles, who moved to the American South in the 17th and 18th centuries, and the creole or post-creole speech of African slaves.

-I think its also amazing how many Southern accents there are. That greatly differ from State to State. Also some diff versions even within the States. I can verify that all Kentucky accents are not the same. Accents from the Eastern part of the State, are way heavier with a Southern drawal vs Western side. Also people from places like Lexington. Can tend to have an accent mixed with Southern&City.

Being from not to far from the South I can definitely tell the difference between a N. Carolinian and a Luisian although outside of the difference between Northern , Southern and Southwestern Virginia I can't tell any reginal accents. A guy I know from Minisota was impressed I knew his girl was from North and not South Carolina. He could tell no difference between them or Georgia. I never knew that until then. But y'all definitely do not all sound alike. Lol
