"So how could @AdamScotti who is Justin Trudeau personal photography just happen to be with the guy at the protest who just happens to have a brand new confederate flag that still has wrinkles on it. Imagine the coincidence!!"
Shelby Foote talks like where I come from
It’s one of the better Southern accents. My dad with his musical ear and Mississippi roots could tell what region of the South someone was from by their accent. That was easier years ago before television and mass migration made their impact.
Speaking of different Southern accents, the first time that I heard a New Orleans Yat accent I thought I was listening to a displaced New Yawker.
You’re right some New Orleans dialects “Irish channel and Ninth ward” sound like the Bronx till dey say y’all
It’s a working class white dialect in New Orleans
Uptown whites speak more typical deep southern with hints of the lesser dialects thrown in
Blacks tend to take the lower white dialects there and exaggerate them
Where yat? Where you at?
Swimp. shrimp
Ersters. Oysters
Dem. Them
Dese. These
And so on....it’s similar to certain Bronx or Brooklyn dialect and it’s working class whites and from Italian and Irish mixing it up I’m thinking
The funny thing is New Orleans has many little accents ....
Narrative is it’s a creole or Cajun accent which is simply wholly untrue.....though some Cajun overlaps with some New Orleans talk
People uptown or on the north shore ....the latter is where most of the money has gone ....speak pretty much like me who grew up middle to upper middle class 150 miles due north up Hwy 51
Maybe a hint of New Orleans urban or surrounding Cajun on the edges of how they speak
Dialects are a fascinating study anywhere.....New Orleans just seems to really be teeming
