I found this article really interesting. I think the different accents in the United States is quite fascinating.

Upper Midwestern: Home of the Midwestern twang, influenced by a combination of Northeasterners and Southerners who migrated up the Mississippi River, as well as the Scandinavian immigrants who settled the area. A subdialect in and around Minnesota reflects more of that Norwegian influence. Think “Drop Dead Gorgeous.”

I don't talk like that shit. I talk AMERICAN

I'd like to assume that the Dakota's have a different dialect than someone in Ohio, I think "Fargo" when you get up this close to Canada.

You ever see they have a cajun reality show now? My dad loves all that history channel gold miner duck dynasty BS, which normally I would hate, but the moonshiners one is so dope. I'll have to ask him/search for it. The show is Honey Boo Boo bad, to the point it's just hilarious trying to keep up with the subtitles.

Crawdad man.

I did used to play COD on XBL with a group of Cajuns. fucking hilarious
