123. I wouldn't classify those as southern. |

Texan could be in its own southwesternwestern category. Ohio and Illinois are midwestern. My boss is from southern Ohio, so I hear that accent a lot.
I love southern accents, especially those from the North Carolina Mountains/Piedmont (Think Charles Kuralt). The Southern accent and dialects of the Southeast is directly descended from Elizabethan english of the original Scots-Irish immigrants.
