Southern English refers to a variety of English spoken in the southern regions of the United States. It is characterized by distinct pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar. Common features include the use of "y'all" as a plural form of "you" and the pronunciation of certain vowels, which can differ significantly from other American English dialects. This dialect is often associated with cultural elements such as Southern hospitality, country music, and Southern cuisine. While it encompasses a range of accents and speech patterns, Southern English reflects the rich history and diverse influences of the region, including African American Vernacular English and Appalachian English.
