My husband gets frustrated at how I phrase questions. -You-re doing that? - with a monotone verses -Are you doing that? - with a high note on the end. I consistently use the former form and I have no idea where I picked it up. I-ve also been teased for my glottal stop in words like -button-. We were all born and raised in the same place! Both of our parents added an R to wash and exchanged an A for the I at the end of Missouri, but we never spoke that way.
American English is complex!

I am so tickled you included some of the things we do in Utah! I have lived in Utah for my entire 51 years but my mother is Australian and I also spent a lot of time with her parents growing up as well so I have a jumble of things I do with my own accent. I didn't realize I have a unique accent until my husband and I started traveling all over the US to run Spartan races. East coasters and southerners really pick up on it for some reason.

You definitely did not spend enough time talking about the Miami, Florida accent which is very distinct and even though it is heavily influenced by Cuban immigrants and their decendants, it is quickly and unconsciously adopted by everyone, regardless of racial or ethnic background, living in the greater Miami area. I believe it is one of the most recent and most identifiable regional accents in this country.

I knew it! This was so interesting except for the pc stuff that kept lightly intruding. and then: LATINX. A word almost universally detested by latin peoples. LOL your woke is showing -----
Also: why are some of you using the terms accent and dialect interchangeably? They aren't at all the same things. Gullah is, I believe, the only probable dialect in North American English, so. ?

I-ve yet to find a single lantino/a that either knows what latinx is or who want it used at all; I-ve spoken to people who get very upset with this and feel like their language identity is being stolen by Americans. If we are speaking about unique language, why are we changing it?

As a Colorado native, I definitely say and hear the glottal stop in mountain and button a lot in my State. I'm also not sure if it is wholly unique to my area, but I also say and hear words like -Pillow- and -Milk- said more like -Pellow- and -Melk-.

St Louis and southwest central Illinois does NOT have the northern dialect. The southern Illinois boundary for Southern could probably move up (north) a little. Also, is -forwards- correct versus -forward-? He says that a lot

Odd how they skipped over completely the active repression of french Cajun in Louisiana and its impact on people and language. The impact of culture and identity is clearly expressed in other cultures repeatedly. I wonder why.

I gotta call BS on your Great Lakes accent. I've lived in the NW Ohio/SE Michigan area my whole life and I've NEVER heard anyone use that accent. I don't know where you're getting that info.
