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.
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.

Do the women in AL warsh clothes or waash clothes? 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".

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.

My daughter-in-law here in NC pronounces water as worter. I call a quarter a courter.

You guys are killing me, all this talk and no pictures . Sweetest sound on the planet! 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)
