Best Answer

There are many accents within the Southern US, all different from the others. Someone from Tennessee, for instance, might have trouble understanding someone from Louisiana if they both have strong accents. These different sub-dialects allow for relatively accurate placement on a map to the trained ear. That being said, they are all slightly different and have different features per region. One common feature across the board, however, is the shorting of the vowel sound in many words.
