    Honestly, as an outsider i can say it sounds kinda cute and very polite

    It’s the antithesis of whatever the southern US is speaking. That just sounds like a whole pack of chewing gum is in your mouth.

      There are accents in the outer banks area of North Carolina that are the closest to the original British and Irish settlers of the area.

      Hey come on now, the southern accent is endearing. What’s even more interesting is that the accent is consistent across languages. Check out the French settlers from the former Louisiana territory. French is their first language, and yet they sound like a stereotypical American trying to pronounce French words. It’s so beautiful!
