Pronunciations depend on which Southern State you are from.

This is so true. Arguments actually break out as to the correct pronunciation. I've lived in all the deep Southern states and I can pick up on the differences so as to identify the state one is from.

Yes, even in the same state. I've lived in coastal Ala-Miss-Lou most of my life & have trouble sometimes with people from the northern parts of the state. There is a much more pronounced accent in North Ala-Miss-Lou.

And the very finest kind is from north/central Alabama and Mississippi, at least for a man listening to women talk.

True!!

I am from Alabama and can tell what state or area someones from just from their accent.
