The South
The South is made up of the states of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida on the Atlantic Coast, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Arkansas farther to the west. Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri and Texas are sometimes considered southern states also. This region is very varied, from Atlantic coastal plains, to the Mississippi river valley, to the Gulf Coast. People in this large area speak many dialects of English, though the southern accent in general is characterized as having long vowels and nasalized vocal pitch.
