It's a slang (southern influenced) way of saying "pretty".
(They are saying you have a pretty, pleasing to the ear voice or way of speaking)

Australians and English use the word 'bloody' and the word boot to replace hood or trunk.

"You talk purty"..... what is the next word? "Purty" might mean "nice" or "very" as in, "You talk purty (nice)" or You talk purty (very) funny"

its what a baby tells someone because they can't say pretty because they haven't learn how to say it the right way.

It is also how a cowboy might say pretty in a book.

It is slang for "pretty". They like the way you speak.
