Re: Example
Hi! Most of my friends are like me: they strive for a more standard American
accent. However, I'm going to talk to some of my parents' friends and see if
I can't record them. I can't promise anything, but I'll try.
A quick example of the Southern accent, which you probably already know, is
that, in the South, the second person plural pronoun, which would normally be
„you“ or „you guys“ is „ya'll“. You might see it spelled
„y'all,“ but no one really knows how to spell it. I have a long, long
reason I like „ya'll“ better. Some other time.

Re: Example
One example I can think of is.. and Kelly please correct me if I'm wrong, that in the Southern accent some dipthongs like /ai/ are pronounced as long vowels, for example /a:/. LIKE is not /laik/ but /la:k/. LIFE is not /laif/ but /la:f/.
Another example I can think of is the long vowel /3:/ which is pronounced for example in the word BIRD – in the Southern accent it is not a long vowel but a combination of /i/ and schwa. BIRD is then pronounced as /bi.d/.
And, as Kelly said, it's non-rhotic, which means they don't pronounce /r/ after vowels.
But I'm also looking forward to Kelly's article with examples and recordings. Thanks Kelly.

Re: Re: Example
Well, and the syllable-final /r/ usually turns the preceding vowel into a
long vowel. It's interesting to listen to an accented New Yorker and an
accented Georgian speak because it feels like the New Yorker adds an /r/ for
every /r/ the Georgian drops. Of course, the lack of /r/s makes it difficult
for someone not accustomed to the accent to tell the difference between words
like „father“ and „farther“.
To take your examples a little further, Marek, because you were right about the
vowel modification, „like“ and „lack“ and „life“ and „laugh“
sound the same, but that's more of the refined accent. I'm really hoping I can
find a really, forgive me, please, trashy accent.

Přesně takhle mluví v seriálu True Blood, to je dokonalá přehlídka
jižanského akcentu. Až z toho občas bolí uši
