LOL. In Michigan, we have at least three, if not four accents.

The normal upper midwest accent that is common in the lower half of the state.
A Southern Drawl. Go to parts of Monroe County. A lot of people moved from Kentucky to Michigan in the early-mid 1900's to work in the auto factories.
North Michigan/Yoopers - Say yah to da UP, eh? It's a blend of Wisconsin and Canada.

A friend of mine from Olivet, Michigan told me that when he took a trip to upstate New York a few years back, he was struck by how similar the accents were to Southern and Central Michigan.

Of course, when this downstater visited Cooperstown, NY when he was ten, he thought he landed on another planet, let alone another state. I have noticed since that upstaters sound more like midwesteners than they do downstaters or New Englanders.

TV newsbabes never speak an "eh" sound. "Taxes" = Texas, "Brast" = breast, etc. They all must go to the same speech school. Men don't talk this way. Why? Drives me nuts.

Reminds me of the joke:

You know what a Hoosier is, don't cha? A Hoosier is a Kentuckian who got lost on the way to Motown,
