The article is garbage for a few reasons:
1) Ocracoke barely has any native residents left.
2) Tangier Island, Virginia is a much, much better example of this, and has lots of residents who speak with this dialect.
"Elizabethian" is a gross oversimplification.

To me it sounds like an Australian accent mixed with an American south: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7MvtQp2-UA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7MvtQp2-UA I'm sure the people from the UK are far more opinionated about the matter.
