Yanks in the army never understand light bread or sweet milk. Matter of fact they kept asking me to say light for some odd reason. Them Yanks are going to be surprised when they die and God Tells them to Git in the Truck we goin up to the Big house now!!! Ain't that the truth! As cousin Hank put it. If heaven ain't alot like Dixie, I don't want to go Just send me to (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) or New York City It would be about the same to me

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.

There are definite differences in southern dialects. North Alabama has the hard R while lower Alabama drops to a soft R. My daddy's people are from lower Alabama and I was sent to speech classes early in school because of it. I still remember the sentence, Robert had a red rooster, and hate it to to this day. Mama was North Alabama hard R.
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.

I’m from the mountains of Virginia. When I was in the military everybody thought I was from Texas because of my accent. I grew up on the Pacific, but I grew up around a bunch of West Virginia hillbillies and some tarheels from North Carolina. That blended in to an accent where I was often asked if I was from Texas. Nowadays I just get asked, "where are you from?" 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.

I've heard that Appalachia and Ozarks dialect are about the closest there is to old(er) English. Kind of a time capsule. 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.
