I was born and raised in deep south Texas, but spent 20 yrs in the military, going from country to country, where I lost almost all my accent. When I go back home for a visit, it actually takes me a day or two to get back INTO the local accent! It even sounds a bit funny to me as well. But, I can STILL talk "Texan". Ex: "Pert near" means very close. "Light bub" is good for light BULB. "Big ole" means big old (referring to size). "She was madder than all git out" means she was very angry. "Fixin'" means I'm about to (I'm fixin to go to the store). "Nuttin" means nothing. "show nuff" means sure enough. These are very common in my area of Texas. Oh, and EVERY kind of soft drink is referred to as "soda". IN the north, many refer to soft drinks as "pop".

The southern accents and piney woods accent have many many accents within it and the south is divided between dozens of accents with big differences, but you can still tell its southern. And there are also whole dialects within northern and southern accents of African American that never really gets explored like ever, and they can be categorized by state/region and urban/rural. Within the African American Northman and southern accents, there are so so so many ways of speech and even while separate English American dialects also.

Hi, l live in Texas, and the piney woods accent is only found in east Texas. That accent is also found in north Louisiana, Mississippi and parts of Alabama and Georgia. Texas has a lot of different accents, from the afore mentioned piney woods accent, to a southern drawl, Cajun influenced around Port Arthur, the classic cowboy accent so often featured in Hollywood westerns, to Tex-Mex and Spanish accents.

The funny thing is she approached me to take her picture with her mom thinking I was a local…because even though I’m from North Carolina ,apparently, I sound like I’m from Manchester. Even people in London that I talked to thought I was from Manchester and just “went to university in the states” to explain my accent. 😂

@17:40 in or so, I KNOW WHO THIS GUY IS!!! He is Tony, from "Crime Pays, but Botany Doesn't," where he literally travels the world, explaining every species of plant he comes across. He is a genius, and from Chicago. He has the Chicago Italian accent. If you want a treat, pick a spot you have always wondered about, and look him up on YT. As for the rest, I didn't find any too difficult, but I have lived in Southwest Michigan, Central Georgia, Northern Illinois, Eastern Wisconsin, and East Tennessee, with family living in North Carolina and Arkansas. I thought the so-called "Piney" accent in Texas sounds pretty much like the Southern Appalachian accent of East Tennessee. Meanwhile, there is a distinction between the Deep Southern accent of Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi, versus the Carolinas, Tennessee, and Kentucky. There is also, broadly, across the country east of the Mississippi River a "country" accent, that always sounds vaguely southern, and tends to be found more among less educated people. Not saying dumb, just not educated beyond high school, as they didn't need degrees to find work, etc.. All across our country, the city accents are MUCH reduced, compared to surrounding counties. Oh, btw, the "Yuper" accent of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan is one that takes some getting used to, youper coming from saying "U. P." out. I find it bizarre how many accents are found on the British Isles altogether, when they are no bigger than our single state of Oregon. My home state of Michigan is bigger as well. It would be like finding a distinct accent in almost every county! I can't imagine. In that the video says experts say our accents are diverging over here, I guess that's not a surprise. But I figure media is pulling us all together, tho, helping us not drift, or at least, drift together, parallel.

When I listen to linguists talk about American accents, many talk about what they call rho(w)dic vs non- rhodic accents. Non-rhodic means the omission of R's from within and at the end of spoken words that contain them in spelling,, like British English. I think most East coast and Gulf coast southern states accents fall in that category. I believe it came from our British forebearers. The rest of the country, including Texas, have clearly rhodic accents. My mom was from eastern New Mexico, which borders Texas to its west. She had a Texas accent.

As someone who grew up in Northern California where the accent is quite different from Southern California. My wife works at a call center making reservations and she can instantly tell if the person is from Southern California (Los Angeles) or if they’re from New York. Along with the accent the attitudes are very recognizable too Something that caused a mixing of accents is that American people will move from state to state or across the country more than other countries. I grew up with my fraternal Grandparents who had accents from Oklahoma and Mississippi and my maternal grandparents who had Canadian and Northwestern accents. The only accent I have a terrible time understanding is anyone who lives near a bayou East of Houston and Louisiana

I'm from Oklahoma and have an "Okie" accent. It's similar enough to a Texan accent that someone might think that I'm from Texas. By the way, there are lots of different southern accents so I'm not sure why he lumped all of the accents together as one "Southern Accent". There are so many states in the south that have their own distinct sounding accents. He could have done a whole video just on southern accents alone. Anyway, enjoyed the reaction.

I have tried VERY hard to not develop a New York accent , which I think is one of , if not THE ugliest accent in the USA . People here in New York know I'm not from New York but never guess where I'm from . Most of them guess California or the Midwest . I have a lot of trouble understanding many Brits who tend to speak very fast and nasally and have a lot of difficulty pronouncing words with the letter T. They tend to just swallow the T sound and pronounce words like button as if it was buh un with no T in it .
