Over my dead Appalachian body!
I’ve got a proper Cascadian accent. It’s lovely, but gets me marked as an outsider when I go elsewhere in the country.
Well if it makes you happy, to me, youse sound the same, I can make out the southern accent, but the rest just sounds american.
I live in Jackson, Wyoming (right on the border with Idaho for 8 months out of the year. I travel most of Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming, and I do not detect a difference in accent between there and most of the Midwest.
Huh. I wanna say it’s wild to claim people from Arizona and New Mexico have Midwestern accents, but I’ve only just realized I have no clue what the hell they do have. Midwestern accents, I guess?
