Interesting/Awesome accents

I like the South African/Rhodesian Afrikaner accent.

I find this interesting, people from Ohio always have the worst accent. It never fails.

The best accent was this stripper from Columbia in Las Vegas. It was because I was drunk, which makes it awesome.

Coworker has that "Fargo" accent. She's from Western Wisconsin. Love to hear her because it's so annoying it's become entertaining

Southern England. Aussie. Swedish

My North La. accent sounded Australian to my Nola native SO the first time she talked to me.

My North Baton Rouge accent sounded British to people in Minnesota 35 years ago.

There are a variety of Southern dialects. You have your dying (and almost dead) Tidewater/Charleston non-rhotic, Scarlett O'Hara one. The hard rhotic, poor grammatical Appalachian one. A Cumberland Plateau (southern TN, northern AL and MS) one. Black Belt dialect that changes between race, usually, that runs through the MS Delta from LA to mid GA. A Deep Southern one that runs just above the coast from MS up to SC. A distinct Gulf one, too, with the addition of NO as a weird port city accent.
