You may be familiar with the “Heartland Series” on WBIR.
I once saw the host, Bill Landry, speaking with a Professor of Linguistics from UT and he claimed that the East Tennessee dialect was the oldest existing dialect in the english language. Now that's a pretty strong statement right there. Whether true or not it's still a shame that the dialect is disappearing.

have a Manchester England accent and go to the East TN and there are still many words and slangs which are the same unlike the yankee accents.
one of the sexiest accents in this world is a southern accent on a woman, especially east TN, TX,Southern GA and north east FL
