Reflection Post

since i have always lived in the south and always had a southern accent, i have never really paid attention to other southern accents. they sound normal to me. it was interesting to learn that there are many different southern accents. northern accents sound funny to me. they talk fast and say things like "you guys" instead of "y'all".

i would like to learn which southern accent is the most popular.

Interpretative Post

my data shows that almost 90% of people have heard at least 1 southern accent. 68% of people have heard a few or some southern dialects.

Secondary Research

Well from what i gathered, there is no certain number for southern accents. everyones is a little bit different. But people that live near each other generaly talk the same.

My Research Plan

My plan to find all of the dialects is to talk to people all across the south. It will take time, but everybody talks differently. I think i will find many different southern dialects.

Research Questions

How many southern dialects are there?

What southern dialect do i speak?

How many states make up a dialect?

Research

I want to learn more about the different southern accents. I want to learn this because i want to see how many different accents there are that are in the south. I think it will be interesting to find out how many different accents there are out there.
