Older Southern American English was a set of American English dialects of the Southern United States, primarily spoken by white Americans before the American Civil War, moving towards a state of decline by the turn of the nineteenth century, further accelerated by World War II and again, finally, by the Civil Rights Movement. These dialects have since been largely replaced throughout the South by a more unified, younger Southern American English, notably recognized today by a highly unique vowel shift and certain other characteristics. Some features unique to older Southern U.S. English persist today, though typically in only very localized dialects or speakers.
This dialects of American English evolved over a period of four hundred years, primarily from older varieties of British English spoken by those who initially settled the area. Given that language is an entity that is constantly changing, the English of the colonists was quite different from any variety of English being spoken today. The colonists who initially settled the Tidewater area spoke a variety of Early Modern English, which itself was very varied. The older Southern dialects thus originated in large part from a mix of immigrants from the British Isles, who moved to the South in the 17th and 18th centuries, and the creole or post-creole speech of African slaves.

Just a brief description and explanation on the southern accent dialect known as the Virginia Tidewater accent. It is a very unique dialect centrally located in the tidewater area of virginia, more specifically the rural areas. I really don't think im the best example of this accent at the moment but I do have family and friends back home that would be the ideal tidewater speakers.
This is what happens when I sit in a chair and someone asks me to breakdown 20 years of dialect research in a couple minutes. Broad generalizations which can’t possibly apply to everyone in a given region. That said, in this video I attempt to loosely define the two most distinctive American Southern accents - rhotic or “r” pronouncing Mountain Southern, and non-rhotic or “r” dropping Plantation or Tidewater Southern. For the most part, you don’t find the latter in mountain regions or much of the former living near the water. Dialects can vary GREATLY within each of these regions, so for specific authentic regional and socio-economic variations of the two broad dialects discussed in this video, go to www.dialectdatabase.com and listen to my recordings of 27 different individuals from a...

In the 1920s and into the 1950s, Hollywood had a particular way of talking. It was called the Midatlantic or the Transatlantic accent. But we don't speak like that anymore. The accent was acquired, so there's no line tracing it back through history — but we gave it a try.
