  • Thanks for this! As silly (or strange) as this sounds, this is very useful to me. Gives me an idea of the dialect. I'm writing a story based in Texas, 1846, and one of the chief characters is from Kentucky.

  • ..wooww.. Makes people in Kentucky look DUMB... just saying..

  • Keep yer shirt on loo tennant

  • Haha. Seems like a nice fella. I'm from Somerset, Kentucky (South-Central Kentucky) but my friends and I are like the anti-Kentuckians. Haha. We don't really have an "twang" or accent, it's sort of bland... Unlike many Kentuckians I have no spiritual faith, and some of my friends are the same way (spiritually that is). I just love it when people ask me where I'm from and I say, "Kentucky." and they never speak to me again... Because I'm some sort of toothless, racist, Hill-jack that has inferio

  • hes not really a southern gentleman. Hes a good 'ol boy. People seem to not know any better when it comes to classifying the southern stereotypes.

  • awesome accent ! sounds like Sam Elliott!

  • awesome accent !

  • I just met the love of my life from Kentucky!  She's a model and the furthest thing from a redneck or hillbilly.

  • I met a man with a KY accent....he made me melt...... Even more so with his polite demeanor...

  • hannah montana in the background c;

  • Kentucky has several different accents and a few are very noticeable. Kentucky also borders 7 different states so the accent and culture changes as you drive through it. Most Kentuckians can tell a difference between Central Kentucky (Lexington) and Northern Kentucky (Cincinnati). Louisville is completely different than rural Western Kentucky, although they aren't far apart and Eastern KY, which is most similar to his accent, is COMPLETELY different than anywhere in the world. It's beautiful.

  • trust and believe this there are many states in the united states that arent as "country" as they sound, the only natural country souther accents come from mississippi and louisiana we dont or never had to try to alter our voices to get it to the point its at now, true enough every southern state has its southern accents but mississippi and louisiana are authentic arkansas isnt far behind

  • This will also pass as a North Georgia accent. It's a little slower than a N.GA accent but placing emphasis on the "R" is very similar.

  • There's no point in categorizing all the different forms of Appalachian English. Southern Ohio counts (believe it or not). If we go south, we sound like we're from anywhere North, if we go north, they think of us like this. Not that there's a problem with it, there's just horrible stereotypes for any Appalachian speaker.

  • There are multiple accents throughout the state. There is often a 'mid western' accent among those who live in the Louisville/northern KY regions, while there's more over a stronger 'country' sound with those in southern and eastern parts.

  • I'm from Hell-fer-Certain creek..(Southeastern Kentucky)..the further back you go,the closer to hell you get..:D

    Thanks for posting this video..*likes*

  • @greenitch47 And I lived in the last house. (I love that joke!)

  • Youtube -

    They Sold Their Souls For Rock And Roll

  • I live in Northern Kentucky. A lot of people like me have lived here my whole life and don't have even a little bit of an accent.

  • He seems more like a good 'ol boy than Southern Gentleman. That term is too loosely used. But there's nothing wrong with being a good 'ol boy either.

  • I know this kid at my school who just moved here from Kentucky. For the longest time I couldn't tell if there was something wrong with him or not, not to offend people from kentucky i'm pretty sure he does have a developmental condition, but from this I guess he just has a really thick accent

  • I've lived in kentucky for 9 years (thanks to my parents) I'm originally from oregon... god I hate it here. =.= it sucks.

  • love it i am from Pualski Tn.

    know how it feels about being called a dumb redneck. and "they are all married to their cousins!"

  • @baileybabe201 The same thing happens the world over, in Britain any one who speaks with a rural accent ie country accent, gets labeled "inbred" or "unintelligent" it's just peoples pre conceived stereotypes of others.

  • @KevinJKtheman Yes i agree, weak minded insecure little fools comming on big with their stupid ass insults.

  • @DtrainBigHammer... ok, apologies. i reread your original post. by the tone of your post i pegged it as being written by someone from britain. what confused me was the ''shazam yanks!" but i got that now. however, john wayne doesn't sound anything at all like a southerner. go back and listen to him, he just sounds like a yankee trying to intonate like one. his pronunciation is prototypical bland midwestern.

  • @DtrainBigHammer... first of all, john wayne was not a southerner and didn't have a southern accent. secondly, and most importantly, southerners are not yanks, yankees, nor any other derivation of the word.

  • damn dapper gent.

    I miss my virginia accent. Damn soft livin in califiornia made me lose my weather resistance my accent.

    I'm going to go smoke a cig in memory now.

  • lol...I grew up in Whitley County, KY, and I would call this the local Appalachian (mountain) accent. I kind of miss hearing it, because I never really picked it up while I lived there. People in KY usually told me I didn't have an accent (my mom is from Fayette County and my dad is from TN); but I moved to PA recently. Imagine my surprise when people noticed it a bit, just in some words...especially when I'm really tired.

    Aww, I miss Kentucky.

  • @transyboy7 I agree with u about Ohio people they are a bunch of ignorant assholes who think they are better than anyone from any surrounding state. I had to move to Ohio from Kentucky and all I hear up here is a whole bunch of shit talking about people from Kentucky and Michigan.

  • I love Kentucky accents whoever doesn't should go to hell thank u very much

  • Whoever thinks that ky accents are stupid n the people from there r uneducated I'm going to hurt..

  • to all you stupid mother fuckers dissing kentucky, you can go to hell!!!! ive lived all 14 almost 15 years of my life in kentucky, kentucky is a very damn good place to live and guess what im very proud to be a redneck, hillbilly or wat ever u wanna call me... hahah ima kid but damn yall being childish!!!! and what you mean uneducated? some very smart people come from kentucky, people from kentucky can do as much n may be more with their lives then other people... this shit pisses me off!!!!!!!

  • @FlowerTravellingMan i wasn't stereotyping texas. my gf happens to be from texas, so why would i? you obviously misunderstood what i was saying.

  • This guys accent aint southern at all. It's more of an applachian accent which is quite a bit different than a southern accent. Listen to Paula Dean, Kelly Pickler, or the Elvis Presley, or the fictional chracter forest gump talk. These people talk quite a bit different than this man. He just sounds like a backwoods hick.

  • I know someone from Kentucky thats exacaly how they talk.

  • Comment removed

  • i don't know why people stereotype people from KY, We are actually very well educated and it's horrible, b/c alot of the people bad mouthing kentucky are from places like california and washington and what not, and they say we're uneducated but they go around Tyypinn LikK Dizz, wth? they shouldn't bad mouth people from kentucky being uneducated if they can't type at all. i'm glad my family didn't stay in san diego. i'm glad we moved down here to kentucky, it's beautiful :]

  • im from Eastern kentucky (pikeville, haha if anyone lives near there they will understand), I lived there for 11 years (now im 14) and now that my accent has faded, watching this video made me sad:( now i feel homesick

  • This is a rare dialect that exists inside the south eastern Kentucky dialect. Its called Drunk South Eastern Kentuckian. No offense. But I just wanted to say so because alot of people who have never been to Kentucky might see this and they don't need to be misinformed.

  • kentucky is not the south

  • @DenverSantaBarbara Wrong, pay attention in Geography and History.

  • @DenverSantaBarbara what the hell made you think that?

  • @DenverSantaBarbara Tell that to my great great great grandfather who was from Kentucky and fought for the Confederacy.

  • Im from the UK and i loveeee that accent.

  • @Claree07 lol, my mom is english(from london) and she had me in california in the states and we all moved to kentucky when i was three. it's so nice here :]

    everyone think's it's a bunch of hick's living down here and that is not true at all.

  • Kentucky is one damn fine state with lowest crime and happiest people, and some people who are the defenition of america, instead of all the damn mexicans takin our jobs. So haters shut up, and god bless america

  • What accent do you have (The girl filming)?

  • Yeah red neck and southern accents are pretty different. Southern, you speak slowly and you have a kind of drawl to your words. Red necks talk faster, and it's a lot harder to understand if your not from the South. Rednecks say: "lookupereovabydat tray" instead of look up over there by that tree. At least that's what we do in Kentucky anyway.

  • @geoffreypatterson I have dat kind of accent to and I always will have till dadaydat I die.

  • my god i hate it when uneducated assholes have to characterize kentucky with "inbred" people or "hillbillies"... i'm from eastern ky and we're damn proud to have a kentucky(dont like to call it "southern")dialect and accent. kentucky carries such a stereotype for no reason.. i speak with a country accent and dialect, so i'm obviously typing way different than i normally talk. however, i think some people just get misinformed about ky. there are so many joke websites about it and everything.

  • @raekelsie

    I'm sorry but Kentucky is unquestionably southern. I am born and raised in this beautiful state and I have a thick "SOUTHERN" accent. We don't like yankees down here!

  • Amen to that drago21842184! We are proud southerns!

  • @sweetblondie21 Yes thats wright! Im proud to be a southerner to yall.

  • Goddamnit. You people look around and say "Now why does everybody think that we southerners are stupid, inbred pieces of shit?"

    Well fuck, maybe 'cause the NORTH WON YOU FUCKING IDIOT. And you people are still slithering around in your backyard holes talkin' about how the south'll rise again.

    I'm proud to be from the beautiful state of kentucky, but one thing I AIN'T proud of is some of the dumb fucks that live here.

  • @drago21842184 your damn right! I dont likem eider I was born in laurel County and was raised in Leslie county and never did like yankies.

  • @drago21842184 And ye know som people thank dat ther is somethin wrong with a southern accent and there aint nothin wrong with it. and there aint not no way that any body is ever gonna change me.

  • @raekelsie What do you mean people from Kentucky are very uneducated and don't have any teeth, you dumbass.

  • @raekelsie Your right and many people make us sound worse than we actually are...drives me crazy especially Ohio people ugh

  • @raekelsie Amen.

  • @raekelsie - Don't feel alone! Tennessee is just as bad. Maybe worse. LOL!

  • it is a form of southern dialect. there is no one southern accent. eastern kentucky's accent is one of many southern accents.

  • @raekelsie actually i read all this in a country accent.

  • @raekelsie A hillbilly is someone from the Appalachian mountains.Kentucky is part of the Appalachian mountains.

  • @rimidalv47 You know, you would be a lot more capable of accurately defining terms used to describe people of southern America if you actually to the time to research the origin and definition of the word you are try to define to someone.

  • @FinalFallenX I'm not trying to describe people of southern America.A hillbilly is someone from the Appalachian and Ozark mountains.Eastern Kentucky is Appalachian,therefore they are hillbillies.There's no one clear origin of the word,but that is the current definition of the word.The slang is someone who's white trash but the word is someone who's Appalachian.

  • @rimidalv47 That is incorrect. The original definition is clearly stated if you would simply research it for 10 moments of your life rather then make accusations based off of what the definition would most likely be .

  • @FinalFallenX I searched and got many different results.One states "An unsophisticated country person, associated originally with the remote regions of the Appalachians.".Another states that it is "A term referring to certain people who dwell in rural,mountainous areas of the United States, primarily Appalachia but also the Ozarks.".And another "A person who lives in or comes from the mountains or backwoods of the South, specif. Appalachia". One even states that it is a "Michigan Dirt Farmer."

  • @FinalFallenX So how about you spend 1 moment of your life and enlighten me on your definition instead of pointlessly dragging this conversation on.

  • @rimidalv47 The original term appeared in a New York journal article stating a "Hill-Billie is a free and untrammeled white citizen of Alabama, who lives in the hills, has no means to speak of, dresses as he can, talks as he pleases, drinks whiskey when he gets it, and fires off his revolver as the fancy takes him." there is more detail into the word if you look up hillbilly in Wikipedia.

  • @FinalFallenX Yes,I read it.The first sentence of it even states that "Origins of the term hillbilly are obscure."That was the first documented use of the term,but there is no proof that that was the first original use of the term,just the first documented use of it.Then it goes on stating several other possible origins.So in the end,there is still no one clear origin of the term.

  • @rimidalv47 First off, this will be my last reply to these comments as I believe they are being far to dragged out but besides that point, you missed the entire point. Regardless of the fact that that may not have been the first definition of "hillbilly' it is still the first documented definition of it.

  • @raekelsie They are hillbillies, dont worry there is other states with people just like you

  • @raekelsie Yeah seriously. I love Kentucky, who else would have came up with Kentucky Fried Chicken?

  • @raekelsie yeah kentucky and like viginia have an apalation accent it like a moutain man accent

  • @DIPwhenyourSICK it's spelled "appalachian" you dummy

  • ah I don't sound like that...

  • my favourite usa accent

  • @sharina1985 my boyfriend is from KY too :)

  • im from the hills in KY too lol i got out when i was 12 tho and im 15 now...i moved towards Louisville and i get picked on cuz of my accent cuz i sound like a "hillbilly, redneck, hick, etc"

  • Looks like an old American accent to me. nice)

  • hey if your from ketucky can you tell the difference between other redneck accents?

    and do all eastcoast accents sound the same to yous

  • Eh. I live in Kentucky and my accent isn't as deep as this guy's. But yeah there's a difference between red neck and southern.

  • isnt red neck and southern the same

    so can you tell if someone is alabama compared to kentucky?

  • No, red neck is different from southern.

    And, well, there are people in KY who have just as strong accents as those from AL.

  • whats the difference between redneck and southern

    no what i asked is can you tell just by accent alone if somone is from kentucky as compared to alabama or arkansas or mississippi

    like we can up north tell from NYC or Boston or Rhodeisland

  • @NyYankees1985:

    Eh, southern is just southern. Rednecks, from what I know, just use bad grammar, and generally aren't too bright. Although, it's more of a stereotype.

    No, I'm really not sure.
