As for the "Louisiana" accent thing - if its a drawl, its north Louisiana.
And when I say North Louisiana, I mean anything north of Hammond, a little town about halfway to Baton Rouge from Lake Ponchartrain (the lake "in" New Orleans).
There's also the Lafayette/cajun accent.
People from New Orleans don't have a drawl. I don't have one. I don't have the "n'awlins" accent either. Think Brooklyn. There's a variation of that
South Louisiana (at least by my standards) doesn't have the southern drawl that people think of as a "southern accent."
