Up for another accent challenge? 👉🏼https://youtu.be/jTViP7QoW0k?si=CIklBTjz9gHqDNQ1

I live in Scotland, and understand them as clear as day. Much easier than many areas in England.
-
Appalachia is pronounced AP-uh-LATCH-uh, not AP-uh-LAY-sha. The locals will throw an apple atcha if you get that one wrong.
-
Thanks for not degrading southern accents
-
Im a alabama girl married to a northerner for 11 years. He still looks at me sideways half the time trying to figure what im saying. 😂
-
As an East Tennessean, I couldn’t recognize the Tennessee accent until Dolly came on. Northeast Tennessee and Memphis have vastly different dialects
-
Back in the 80's I took a seat beside an attractive young woman on a flight from Cordova to Juneau, Alaska. After striking up a conversation she told me that she was a linguist and that she could tell me where I grew up. I asked her to go ahead and tell me. She told me the exact county in southwestern Virginia where my family has lived for six generations and where I was raised. I'll never forget that. It blew me away.
-
I'm a southerner and I understood everyone perfectly.
-
I’m from mountains of North Carolina, while In Norwich Uk , a smack head girl sat down beside me on a bench, I said “Hello, how are you?” She replied,” I love your accent, can I kiss you?” 😂😂😂
-
It is a crime to leave out the Arkansas hillbilly and Texas/Oklahoma twang accents in this video.
-
I'm a Japanese immigrant. The South is my favorite part of the US because of the food, music, and amazing Southerners also Elvis Presley is my idol.
-
The southern accent is very comforting to me. My folks were from Arkansas and Oklahoma, we had friends in Alabama. I'm a Californian that had a southern accent every summer after visiting Grandma back yonder❣
-
Born and raised in Florida. I've have lived in Florida all my life. I'm a true Southerner. Yes I say ya'll and used all the southern slang. It's part of who we are in the south and we're proud of it. It's what makes us who we are. Proud Southerner here.
-
As a Georgia Boy, I have a difficult time understanding Northern people, especially New England states. I watched a show about carpentry and heard the dude talking about HOD wood. I looked all over the internet trying to find, Hod wood. I finally found out he was talking about HARD wood.
-
I'm surprised he didn't high light the Gullah Geechee accent. It's truly one the most unique and important dialects in United States history
-
As an Appalachian who traveled in Ireland and Scotland, I recognized bits of accent and even phrases common in those places that I had never heard anywhere other than back home in Appalachia.
-
1:08 Black guy pops up out of nowhere: "I call them chiggers". That fucking got me haha.
-
I'm a New Yorker. When I was in the Navy, there was a red headed guy who, when he spoke, I was absolutely positive he was from the deepest part of the deep South. At the time, I was guessing Mississippi. I, therefore, was shocked to find out he was a farmer from southern New Jersey, I'm still not over it!!! And that was 55 years ago.
-
Alabama girl born and raised, it’s nice to hear some appreciation for Southern accents
-
As a Southern woman born and raised I love our accents.
