I myself speak the Mississippi Delta version. (...) You people like the
clip clip snip snip of Protestant industry. We like the flowery flow of
vowels with slowly sipped mint juleps.
Have you noticed the "Southern accent" has disappeared? I talk with people
in Nashville, Atlanta, New Orleans, and many other cities in the South; none
of them have any accent. These are people who grew up in those places.
"Texan" has also disappeared.
The only place that has a regional accent is the Northeast, esp. NYC and
Boston.
Odd, isn't that?
