re: New Orleans accents are disappearing

Growing up we had a teacher who would freak out on anyone who did "lazy speak" which was New Orleans speak. Basically dropping the ends of words and replacing "er" with "a". So...blame that guy.

The narrator sounds EXACTLY like my Uncle Donald. I'd hate for that accent to disappear.

Not being from LA, why is it that some of these folks (Yats) sound like they're from Brooklyn? Coincidence or are they yankee transplants?
Same immigrant stew of English, Irish, German and Italian...the French mark on the accent is negligible.

If you live in VA, SC, or parts of GA where the old gentry accent still survives (very rare today), then some of them do not pronounce R's as you suggest. There's a linguistic name for this: non-rhotic. There's a couple of different southern accents that implement this, but the main one most people think of is called the "Piedmont" accent which originated in the Tidewater area of VA.
Every once in a while I'd hear the old dialect in Richmond where people would pronounce house as "hoose" and about as "a-boot". It was only with the 60+ age crowd.

Spoke to relatives from 40 years ago, they loved our accents. Doubt mine changed much.

First chick sounds like a chalmation. It is not a sexy accent.

I get that every now and then when I travel. I think it's because we are a port city just like NY, and had German, Sicilian and Irish immigrants around the same times. I have all 3 in my heritage. The only difference is the southern and black influence. I'm also 1/4 north Florida/south Alabama redneck, but grew up here so those rednecks sound foreign to me at reunions.

My father, my mother, and all of their friends still speak just like this. Yat/borderline brooklyn accent.
Apparently, My metairie friends and I also have pretty shitty accents. I didnt realize it until I got to LSU when people told us we talked funny. Room, Broom, Roof, and House were usually the words that would set people off.

All accents are disappearing. The world is getting smaller.
