My wife used to give me flak for a long time about ordering mashed tadors and corn as my sides at dinner one night. She has firmly accepted that she has married a hillbilly.

Parts of Mississippi even throw in hard Rs where none exist as in warsh or squarsh.

The low country in the Carolinas have their own soft accent as well, which is where most of lower Alabama originated.

This reflects the two routes into Alabama. Across the coastal plain/federal road out of the Carolinas and down through the Appalachians/Cumberland Gap.

Georgia has a similar North South difference as well though not as influenced in the North due to being on the east side of the mountains.

Wobart had a wed wooster?

Mine knew what she was getting when the waitress in this one restaurant brought out a pan of cornbread and I asked for a glass of buttermilk. Sitting there in a fancy restaurant in suit and tie eating cornbread and clabber.

If I spend a couple hours on the phone with somebody from the south, especially the Carolinas, I get off of there talking like a born and raised tarheel.

And I don't have a clue what sort of accent I have as I lived in so may different places and worked with many different nationalities that in my book, its all a messed up mix

The southerners have accents? The last time I was in the south they pegged me from being from Minnesota. I must be the one with the accent.

Sure is!

There used to be an outfit that did Shakespeare in appalachian accent. Once you hear it, the play, with the different cadence, suddenly is much easier to understand and enjoy.

I see a lot of younger people losing it from watching too much tv and actually caring what other people think of it. I’ve seen speech captioned on tv when I could understand it perfectly. A little known southern secret…..when we get around people that make fun of it we double it and lots of times are amused at your accent. I used to make fun of people I worked with from other states without being mean about it and they never ever realized they were actually being played.
