NELA, NWLA, CENLA, SWLA, SELA, NO, & BR all sound different to me.
Get a person from Houston and a person from Atlanta to say down. Your going to hear "dine" vs. "dyin'"
Get a person from Mississippi and a person from Louisiana to say car and you get "kah" vs "kawh"
The drawls decrease from east to west and the twangs from north to south, so the individual words have to shift as well.
wow lol i'm sorry but i do not agree with that. i've never heard anyone say "kawh" in my entire life

Maybe you don't notice the difference in accents, but I know in Texas we do. It's easy for us to distinguish when people are either from Houston or Dallas.

You can usually tell what part of a city somebody is from by the accents, they usually differ (even if slightly) from neighborhood to neighborhood. Maybe it's just more noticeable to some.

lol dog, i already said i know about the difference between houston and dallas accents
Come to Southeast Louisiana. Park the car becomes Pahk the Kahr or Kawh. It fades out in the Florida Parishes.
i have been to southeast louisiana, as well as north louisiana (i'm guessing you missed my post where i said i have family there). and i'm telling you i've never heard "kawh" in my life
this is not an issue of it not being "noticeable" to me. i've from the south, just like you two. accents are always something i've paid close attention to and believe me when i tell you that i have excellent hearing

Trust me, they talk like that down there. I've dated someone from Louisiana and she talked just like that. It was like she was trying to talked with a northern accent, but failing miserably.
