Bummed there isn't an example of old-timey, upper-class peninsular Charleston, SC accent. By and large, these people don't live there anymore, but it's an amazi

  Woah, that's a crazy accent. It's like a Virginia Gentlemen accent had a baby with an upper class Boston accent and somewhere in there is a French Canadian grandparent. The vowels are so proper and Southern, but the non-Rhotic finals are crazy. I'm listening to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJv9t80pufc&t=2m35s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJv9t80pufc&t=2m35s "Ten Years Ago" is literally made up of pieces of several different accents. "Tee-un Yee-ahs Ago-uh" Then every other "r" is said, until he gets to "contributuhs". I might be mistaken but I think he also rhoticises his final "ls". I bet he also says "law" like "lawr". "Fourth of July" turns into "Fowth of Joooo-lie" and then he says "articulate" perfectly normal. "ways" -> "wuuh-ehs" "know" -> sounds like Canadian "knoo" "mortgage" -> "mow-gayj" actually I almost can't predict how he'll pronounce one word to another, just when I start to think I got an ear for it, then he'll throw in something like "manufacturing"->"man-oo-fact-yoo-rin"
