That is what I would call the posh southern accent you will see many a southern girl exaggerate their normal manner of speaking to sound like the woman in that youtube video.

That is true I suppose what you say about other people thinking of a country as having only one accent.



What I am thinking of is how the typical person from the southeast sounds when they speak naturally some red neck types do sound like the brit kid and some people do sound like the old timey posh southerner very few.The way I speak for example it would sound stereotypicaly southern but not like either of the above examples most we tend to speak a little faster in Florida a guy from up in the panhandle he will combine many of his words I am talking about native Floridians which are becoming rare Florida has more people that came from other states than any other short maybe of California so I blame all the stupid laws and ideology on these invaders they come down here with all their stupid ideas in tow.

This man here is how your typical southerner sounds with a little variation from region to region.I would also agree with him when he says that southern accents gradually going away my daughter does have the accent that I have.One reason is because of the preconceived notion by others that the southern accent is slower and therefore it is assumed the person speaking it is dumber so many will speak one way at work and another at home the power of assimilation.
