Depends on where in the south you live as well. There isn't just *one* southern accent. There's regional flairs to nearly every state (but they tend to cross state lines). I've noticed that people in Maryland and Northern North Carolina typically have a very neutral accent (along with some parts of Virgina). Note this isn't everywhere because oftentimes accents are passed by family. My own family has a slightly offkilter accent compared to the rest of the area due to where my father came from. |

Yeah, I want a more Georgian/South Carolinian accent. My parents accents are pretty neutral (although we can all be rednecks when we want to;)) but my grandparents and most extended family have a South Carolinian accent (as they are from SC).
And I don't consider Maryland southern, Virginia is the cutoff line.
