Tn has regional accents as well. Someone raised in, for example, Shelbyville (Middle Tennessee) has a VERY different accent from someone raised on the mountains of East Tennessee. Tennessee accents can sound as smooth as a pat of warm, melted butter or as thick as a lump of sourdough bread.
I have always been told that I have a rather strong Tennessee accent; however, recently, many people have been asking me if I am from Canada
.
I just don't understand how I went from having a strong regional Tennessee accent to having what some Tennesseans perceive to be a Canadian accent.
