My accent is pretty mild--a lot of it comes out in the "I" sound. However, my sister, who has lived in eastern KY for a good number of years now, *definitely* has a more pronounced accent.  |
OH yeah...the mountain area has some fairly distinct accents. And I know what you mean about the 'I'...the only time mine really shows is when I say '9' or '5' or 'wine'. But I do know there is no 'r' is wash! |
