I don't know of anyone actually ON the Gulf coast who talks like that, just in that thick area somewhat north of it - maybe I'm thinking of the Bible Belt, but I haven't bothered to look it up. In another example, I haven't bothered to distinguish between the accents of Sargon of Akkad and Tommy Robinson, but apparently the difference was worth several hundred thousand pound a couple generations ago. According to some reports I've seen (including from the man himself), Tommy Robinson's accent is distinctly "working class". I don't know how I'm supposed to tell, lol!
Old southern guy here. I'm familiar with a lot of southern accents, but this lovely lady's drawl is very different and something I've never heard before. I've never visited WV, so I'm going to label this "plausible".
I love her deep accent where is it from?
Sounds like TN, MI, AL, LA to me
Can confirm, this 100% sounds like a West Virginian
Almost heaven West Virginia.
Grew up in rural TN. Sounds more like an AL accent. Not LA or MS either.
Husband is from AL, can confirm he and his entire family sound like this.
(Also, I think you might mean MS, MI is Michigan, I always confuse the two.)
You are right!! What is wrooooooooooong with meeeeeeeey?!?!
To edit in a strikeout correction style of this PEBCAK repair, type "~~struck~~ *correction*" - it'll look like "
struckcorrection"We need shirts!
I started to reelize there.
I live in Alabama. Can confirm. I know a lot of people who sound like this.
Yeah this is definitely not Appalachia like you would hear in TN. Too much of a draw.
LA
Lower Alabama.
I LoL'ed at this more than I should have....
I'm here with you
Jamey Johnson
Could easily be south GA
Sounds like my relatives from south GA
I live in south GA, thank god, and she really sounds like some of the older ladies in my church. We take time with our words. Ha
Haha, not hard to imagine her being in the ol family tree!
Definitely not TN.
No
Somewhere within 500 miles of the Gulf coast, only that I can be sure of, not being an expert in US accents.
I’m from the Gulf Coast, I don’t know anybody that talks like that.
I was thinking West Virginia, or some Appalachian state.

It's a pretty interesting accent. Don't believe I've ever heard anyone else turn the word "me" into a two-syllable word.
We put the letter 'y' in words along with the long vowels. Goddamn=Gaawd dayum. Southern WV here.
500 miles from the gulf coast, but not within 100 miles of the coast
Yeah, I was wondering too. Can anyone place it? That lady's awesome.
WV

As a former Western Pennsylvanian, I feel ashamed for not knowing that.
America fren. America the Beautiful.
Lol. That's the answer I guess. :)
San Fernando Valley
Enumclaw, WA.
Minot, North Dakota
But Southern SFV, something like Sherman Oaks or Encino.
East Portland
Some southern state I'm betting.
You sure? I thought it was the Bronx.
Probably maybe but no
Nah that’s definitely Boston. Source: I was born and raised in Camden NJ.
Definitely Back Bay Boston
I would pay serious money to hear the woman in this video say "I left my car keys in my khakis."
