I remember you saying that your nephews come from my home town....we do not have a PA Dutch accent. We have a coal region accent, thank goodness I do not have it. My mom made sure if it. Now a lot of farmers in the area have the PA Dutch accent. It is mostly people who live around Lancaster, York, Camp Hill, they have the PA Dutch accent...none of them are farmers. ( By the way the Pennsylvania Dutch are of German ancestry... years ago when asked they said they came from Duetchland ...not sure of the German spelling for Germany ...people thought they said they were Dutch).

My mom and I met a couple from Southern Georgia. The woman said that she and her husband lived near the border of Florida. She said they lived there all their lives. The woman's accent was so soft and she pronounced every word clearly. I said to her that I hope she wouldn't be offended, you could hardly tell she had a southern accent. She said she was a retired high school English teacher.

I love southern accents. Except for the deep hard southern accent like the Carter's.

It is so amazing how we all live in the same country USA, yet we all have different accents. Even within our own states.
