Nope. But not all southerners speak with the same drawl. There's at least four different ones in Alabama alone. My Granny from South Alabama aka LA. Spoke totally different than my Sand Mountain North Alabama mother.
Most notably in the Rs. Soft in the south hard in the north.
Google Jeff Sessions or Katherine Tucker Windham for the soft R south.
Google Governor Bob Riley or Judge Roy Moore for the hard R north.

Low Country Carolina is almost unintelligible. Of course everyone knows of Cajun but there's also Creole as well.
The one hard on my ears is Mississippi flatwoods, not to be confused with delta. And I can spot a native Georgian the minute they open their mouths.

But I totally agree there's something special about Alabama women.

That a good explanation of it. That soft R from around the black belt is one of the most pleasant accents in the country. It’s the one you hear actors and actresses trying to emulate when they try to do southern but it can’t be forced. Something naturally smooth about it.

Neither, adding Rs as in warsh, squarsh, mayernaise or Aruh C cola is Flatwoods Mississippi. But it can be found in northwest alabama along the state line.

My original accent was the soft R but forced speech classes in kindergarten changed it to the hard R. I still remember, "Wobeht had a wed woostuh".

Here I thought Westerners "warshed" their cars. Dad was raised in CO and he warshes his cars.

To the OP, southern belles have numerous charms.

Being from AR, I wash my car. The wife's parents were from OK and her also as a kid. She warshes things. Now the fish salmon is pronounced Sal-Mon. Not Sam-un. Of course it's taters and matters in these parts, and you eat them at breakfast, dinner, or supper. That is if you're not at work, that's when dinner is referred to as lunch.

Johny Cash sang of it in Big River..... " it tore me up every time I heard that drawl, southern drawl..".

I fished several times with a family from Brundidge Alabama, and the mother had a great drawl and she loved to bait me during a cocktail session after fishing.

I beg to differ. I don't care what accent a woman has. The sweetest sound dealing with them is silence.
(Hope my wife of 43 years doesn't see this. LOL)

You got a point though there's a certain type of silence they give that is dangerous.

Especially from an Alabama female. It's the silence before the storm.

I like the southern accent much much better than the New England accent. Them New Englanders are just plain weird to listen to. crazy

Now the southern girls are sweet to hear! And once they realize your from the north, in my experience they really lay it on. wink

I have a buddy who moved south for a decade or so, and he lays it on until i tell him he sounds funny, lol.
