Where I live, Highland Southern dialect is predominant.
It has bizarre similarities to Elizabethan English.

Apparently Wiki has changed the original name to “Appalachian English.
Meh.
Same difference.
Where I live:
"Eastern New England English encompasses the Boston accent, the Maine accent, and, according to some sources, the Rhode Island accent. Eastern New England English is famously non-rhotic, meaning it drops the r sound everywhere except before a vowel: thus, in words like car, card, fear, and chowder (About this sound listen). The phrase Park the car in Harvard Yard—dialectally transcribed [pʰäːk ðə ˈkʰäːɹ‿ɪn ˈhäːvəd ˈjäːd]—is commonly used as a shibboleth, or speech indicator, for the non-rhotic Eastern New England dialect, which contrasts with the generally rhotic dialects elsewhere in North America.[16] In all of Eastern New England, except Rhode Island, words like caught and cot are pronounced identically (both are often rounded, thus: About this sound [kʰɒːt]), because those two vowel sounds have fully merged.[17] A phenomenon called Canadian raising occurs throughout Eastern New England, causing writer to have a different stressed vowel sound than rider, and for the verb house to have a different vowel sound than the noun house. /aʊ/ and /uː/ have relatively back starting positions. The horse–hoarse merger is still present to some extent in some areas, and the Mary–marry–merry merger is largely not present."
