UltraRed posted:That's suburbia, not rural. You can even see the housing divisions in the background. This is closer to what Rural America looks like https://www.google.com/maps/place/W...9!4d-79.8073205 edit-this is still only about 20 minutes outside of a city. However, that is the standard, if you go more than ten minutes outside of a city you'll see stuff like this.....or even more sparse. Also, this is decently off rural. Poor rural is a whole other meth-infested bag. Madmarker fucked around with this message at 20:27 on May 3, 2017 |

chitoryu12 posted:I think Louisiana is the only place where you're guaranteed to encounter people speaking a dialect that's completely incomprehensible in most of the country. That area (New Orleans especially) was heavily settled by the French or colonists descended from French-speaking colonies, which has a resulted in a number of people speaking in a downright foreign dialect. Some areas of Appalachia will have thick accents and mealy-mouthed speakers that are difficult to understand, but Louisiana Creole is a mixture of several languages. Nah, just go out into the country here in NC, you've got people here whose accents are so ridiculously thick that unless you grew up in the area you will have literally no clue what they are saying. Think Boomhauer crossed with Slingblade and you have yourself a good idea. I've lived my entire life in this State, but since I'm a city boy when I meet these people I just kind of have to smile and derive from context clues of the people around me whether I should laugh, smile, look concerned or any other emote because I sure as gently caress wont be able to have a conversation.

chitoryu12 posted:I think Louisiana Cajuns and Creoles beat them because it's one of the few cases where English goes straight into an alternate dialect instead of just a thick accent and some different slang. Some Creoles speak a completely different language altogether despite being many generations born and raised in the United States! No disagreement that it is far more exaggerated in Louisiana, I'm just trying to point out that Louisiana is not the only place where you will encounter people whose accent is completely indecipherable to non-natives of that region.
