Ok, do Pennsylvanians from the middle Mountain part of the State have some sort of a different accent , than the rest of the State ? Almost like a low, slow drawl to their voice when they talk . Yeah, I notice that too up around St Mary's way

You can spot a Mon-Valley accent a mile away.
As for the mountain region of PA yes....
You can also tell someone from back east by the way they say water. Wooter.

Never noticed it in the mountain billies.
Southeastern PA............say east of Bedford...........yep.
Pixsburgh area................yep.
But never picked up anything too out of the ordinary along the middle Rte 6 corridor.

I worked outside of Huntingdon about 5 years ago. Never noticed any accents. Nor did I have any trouble understanding anyone around there.
My only gripes were the high gas prices... and the DQ in Huntingdon didn't serve burgers, ice cream only.
Gorgeous countryside though.

Mike you can blame the high gas prices on the highest (or second-highest?) gasoline taxes in the nation.
