[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There seems to be a lot of confusion here between what is rural and what is Southern.[/quote]

Rural Virginia= Southern , if it’s rural, that means it retained its original settlers without much influence from transplants or urbanization. All of Virginia is historically southern, unless there has been mass urbanization or migrants flocking there. I graduated from Loudoun County High School in Leesburg, and some of the kids and teachers there had southern accents. When I went to DC’s teacher parent meeting, the teacher there had a southern accent, as did the parents. In Leesburg (northern towards Lucketts), right next to the Potomax River, where it is still relatively rural and untouched. [/quote]

There’s really not difference between rural Virginia and rural Pennsylvania.[/quote]

This is true. Philly in the East, Pittsburgh in the West, and Alabama in between.[/quote]

We call it Pennsyltucky. [/quote]

Well southern and western Pa has lots of Appalachian influences, as it is bordered by two arguably southern states (MD and WV), they’re bound to have some southern influence. [/quote]

Ok, now do Maine.[/quote]
