Outer Banks & Virginia islands dialects – 9 days old

[Hispaniola]

These American accents are fascinating, there is proly older threads on this subject but there are too many so i wont bother to even look

anyhow, these accents sound like the west country british accents

tangier & smith island accenta




outer banks accents

[Tsarcastic]

They sound distinctly southern appalachian. But far more distinct from the more common southern appalachia dialects you hear in west VA (region), West VA (state), Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia or west of that into the former frontier states (many of which were also settled by southern appalachia folk).
