2017年1月22日 · Most Chicago people I know have somewhat of a southern sounding accent. At least in the black community. Detroiters have a accent similar to the bay area (Oakland, CA).

NM is a lot of transplants from all over, much like Florida). Friend in Cali and Colorado do not think I have an accent. Went to Florida and never got "you must be from MI". Now I live in Cinci.
