Is Florida accent deemed as north accent？why？?

Answer 1

:) I can answer your question with a question...(lol)
Who lives in Florida.....statistically the majority of Florida folks are migrants from the cold winters of the 'north' .... like New York, Canada, Minnesota etc....A lot of the folks who live in Florida only live there part time....for 5 or 6 months out of the year. They are called 'snowbirds'.

There is a growing number of Latino's and Spanish speaking people coming from Cuba, Purto Rico etc, and many families coming from Jamacia. When I lived there my neighborhood was awesome, folks from Columbia, Switzerland, Greece, Pakistan and from all over the USA. Florida is the supreme melting pot of America...probably moreso than New York.

Now there are a lot of 'native Floridians' that would be the folks who's parents and grandparents lived in Florida and they themselves were born and raised there. You will find more Native Floridians on the Seminole Reservations, and down in the Florida Keys and up in the Northern parts of Florida.

Some of the sellers, such as Indiana native Jack Garrison, are snowbirds, dividing their time between Florida and their Midwestern or Northern homes. Others, such as Ciro Poma, live here year-round.

Answer 2

No, Floridians tend to speak with the same sort of drawl as the rest of the American south. Midwesterners sound different because the vowels are shorter and often middle consonants are dropped. For example, a southerner would say "mihtteyn" and a midwesterner would say "mih'en".

Answer 3

Well, there are certainly more northerners living there than southerners. You would think it should be a southeren state, but sadly, it isn't.
