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!
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.
LOL, thanks. My mom was British, I guess that is why accents interest me. I always ask where people are from.
500 miles from the gulf coast, but not within 100 miles of the coast
