Neutral You're not Northern, Southern, or Western, you're just plain American. Your national identity is more important than your local identity, because you don't really have a local identity. You might be from the region which is defined by this kind of accent, but you could easily not be. Or maybe you just moved around a lot growing up. |

Hmmm, no, I have lived all my life in the South. Except for three years in Atlanta, I've lived in Tennessee my whole life. However, I have studied languages and once made a conscious effort to enunciate clearly and carefully so I didn't sound so "Southern" until I decided a decade or so ago that ... hey! ... I am Southern! Maybe it was too late for the South to claim my accent? Hmmm, but my non-Southern friends comment on my drawl. Maybe I simply speak my neutral accent very ... s l o w l y ?
Stephanie, I need your feedback here!

Wait. You can't have a neutral accent. No one who lives in the south has a neutral accent!
