re: Is Louisiana part of the Deep South?

I truly didn’t think someone was stupid enough to think an Opelousas or Nola accent was like GA or MS but here comes Mingo biting ankles

That’s not what you said. You being a career senior manager makes so much sense.

So you take umbrage with me saying GA, MS, or AL are fairly identical?

---

Yes because they aren’t. Particularly parts of Georgia which have extremely distinct accents.

That’s also mingo territory to argue that

Something that’s total and utter bullshite that you just made up with no basis? Yeah, I guess so

Dialects are going to differ across regions but MS, AL and GA are all very similar to each other in various ways

GA, MS, and AL all have “fairly” identical accents

They do not.

You are too wrapped up and trying to come in biting ankles you missed the word fairly to argue some remote part of each state when the heavy overwhelming majority of that’s states accents are in line with one another

---

Certain regions of Georgia have extremely distinct accents that disqualify your statement. Sorry you don’t get to make shite up.

Won’t stop you from continuing to try though

Dumb map.

If Florida gets to be its own category, Louisiana definitely does. South Louisiana is more unique than South Florida culturally, and the rest of both states are clearly Deep South.

Maryland and Delaware also belong in the “sort of” category, as does the southern tip of Missouri.

This looks like it was made by some teenager on reddit trying too hard to sound smart.

There’s another map in here that breaks it down regionally instead of by state that looks fairly accurate

That map is actually pretty accurate, outside of not considering LA the Deep South, that's just ridiculous

As someone who's grown up in Georgia, I've never considered the entire state to be the Deep South. The entire upper 1/3 of the state, from the TN/NC borders down to the Fall Line, is the mid-South. Everything from the Fall Line and south(Macon, Columbus, Augusta) is the Deep South.

Same with Alabama.

Dumb map.

yep, Tx and La are deeper south than any of the states labeled deep south.

If less than 50% of your state isn't deep south, then your state isn't on that very exclusive and elite list. sorry.

And this is how I view both Georgia and Alabama.

And LC14Tigers, downvote this a-hole:

I understand that, but what you are saying makes us "different" is mostly New Orleans, and some surrounding parishes. By and large, Louisiana is the Deep South.

---

The vast majority of the population in Louisiana resides in the southern portion of the state (I’m not just referring to the New Orleans metro) and is pretty different culturally than the “Deep South”. For example, over 50% of residents in Lafayette are Catholic, which definitely doesn’t coincide with the rest of the Deep South.
