Mississippi is a close third, shout out to my boy Shelby Foote's accent


Frank Broyles Georgia accent was excellent


South Carolina, I can't get you in this. Too much influence from Florida I guess?



1. Arkansas/EasternOklahoma

2. Georgia/North Carolina

3. Mississippi

4. Central and western Kentucky - westward migrants to Arkansas completely avoided the Tennessee state line and crossed past Murray and Mayfield to get here. Braved the swamp just to avoid Tennessee.



I do not vouch for dumbshit redneck accents, so the rest of you are on your own.


Worst southern accents are Alabama and Missouri and east Tennessee :puke: and Eastern Kentucky is also awful. Florida is not southern, nor is Texas.

Eastern Okies and their accents are excellent.

Mississippi and Georgia still preserve the old Foghorn Leghorn accent. "I say, I say, now." The rest of your picks are shite.

Terrible list. Georgia has way more influence from Florida than SC does. That makes no sense.

Really depends on which Ga accent you are talking about.

The old money, Savannah/coastal accent? Sure.

Meth lab trailer park in the N. Ga hills accent…not so much.

Georgia/Alabama/Mississippi are what people think of when they refer to Southern accents.

Missourians don't have a southern accent. It's Midwestern and is the reason that a bunch of broadcast journalists come from Missouri.
