    Well, there\'s the southern drawl, and \'Redneck\'. Which one do you mean?
    The southern drawl is smooth, relaxed, and slow. \'Redneck\' can be jarring and just sounds ignorant.

    Maybe there is a slightly more educated Southern accent but whenever I hear either it \"urks\" me for some reason. Everyone should make audio posts yeah, constructive alright.

    speaking of accents. How about Swiss german! sounds really weird to me. It\'s a good thing every one in Switzerland, Germany/baveria, Litchenstein, and Austria are schooled in \"Heuch Deutsch\"(standard german)

    Ehh...it\'s just that kind of thing that\'s killing regional accents. \"Redneck drawl.\" Yeah, right. Like Brooklynese sounds any better for having originated north of the Mason Dixon. Or Bostonians who wouldn\'t know an R if it fell in their laps. Or CA\'s Valley Girls.

    It\'s all good. Celebrate diversity. Eschew stereotypes. Broaden your horizons.

    Oh, fvck it, never mind.

    Default American Southern Accents

    I\'ve always been a student of American Southern accents. They have a number of distinct \"ecosystems\" based on economic niches and migratory sources. There are a few that are quite cultivated and melodious, especially coming from beautiful women. See \"Gone with the Wind\"!

    For example, Tidewater Virginian is from Southern England and is rather feudal in origin - think aristocratic Roundheads fleeing the English Civil War. Piedmont Alabama, Georgia, and west is from what we call \"Scotch-Irish\" because they had their origins in the borderlands between Scotland and England and Northern Ireland. Their closest relatives in the \"Old Country\" are the Orangemen of Belfast and neighborhood.

    There\'s lot\'s more to it but I could always tell, when I was growing up on the Florida Gulf coast, someone from Selma from someone from, say, Apalachacola, just by accent.

    People in New Orleans sound, surprisingly, like people from the Bronx. And people in New Orleans sound a lot different from the people just outside of town - the difference between Creole and Cajun.

    I am Mack, german and italian. I haven\'t spoken italian for about 12 years but I was raised bilingual. I don\'t think I lost something that an intensive class couldn\'t replace though [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img].

    Swiss-German (Schwitzerdütsch) is almost a complete different language. It\'s even hard to understand everything in case swiss people are speaking the main language (hoch-deutsch). Swiss is a special case anyway because there are so many spoken dialects and languages (different german dialects, french and different romanic dialects).

    Nice research there Andy. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

    Cultural imperialism is an awesome thing. I wonder how it\'ll change after Rupert Murdoch controls everything everyone in the world sees. Maybe we\'ll get lucky and he\'ll follow the Silvio Berlusconi route.

    I can\'t stand Southern accents! Period. I don\'t know why really. I just don\'t like them. And I lived in Florida for 10 years.

    When I\'m writing to the ladies on the forum, I picture them without accents. Although I know Red has one, it would\'nt bother me because I think she\'s pretty smart. She always uses big words like apostophasizing. I think the reason is the whole trailer trash ignorance stereotype thing. Even Bill Clinton had an El Camino with astroturf in the back.

    In my warped mind, Elana has absolutely no southern accent whatsoever! She\'s a cosmopolitan New Yawker with the slightest tinge of jewishness in her voice.

    That\'s the way it sounds to me anyway.

    And all of you Europeans do a fine job with english. If I didn\'t know that Franki was a native Dutch cheesehead living in Germany, I would think he\'s from Pennsylvania.

    Actually, Elana is a 14-year-old boy from Milwaukee who goes to Catholic school. FTR is a 250-pound lumberjack from Washington state with a lot of hair on his back. And Mobley is a composite of 8 teen-age girls from suburban Boston.

    And I love the Southern drawl. I\'ve said that many times. It\'s \'Redneck\' I\'m not overly fond of. And you can find \'Redneck\' anywhere.

    I think I see what you\'re saying, but I think it\'s a confusion of who said what. Exit hates southern accents. I don\'t. That might have gotten confused in the quotes part.

    So sorry! You\'re exactly right, that\'s exactly what happened! My bad, off to delete that post.

    Apologies. (I was so confused...)

    For me, it\'s not so much accent (although you can certainly tell I\'m not from the north - but people usually just ask me where I\'m from rather than know my heritage is southern), it\'s the way I put words together, especially when I\'m mad or with someone I\'m completely comfortable with. Then the southern and the Irish comes out.

    I was a Navy brat and we lived mostly outside the US while I was growing up. My parents had southern accents. Mine\'s not real pronounced and it\'s a mish-mash of varieties.
