Louisiana is kind of emblematic of the problem: I can think of at least three major accents in that state alone, and it only has six million people.

I can think of at least five.  Typical New Orleans people like myself, that have often been said to have no recognizable accent at all, New Orleans ghetto, St. Bernard (Y'ats!), cajun/creole, then Northern Louisiana folks that sound like typical Southerners.

Sweet Jesus no they don't. Northern Louisiana is still very separated from the likes of Georgia or Alabammy
