Not necessarily. Some of those people speak English in such a way that
speakers of English who understand English as spoken on the news would
have to listen to carefully and ask for much repetition to understand.

If a claim is made that that Texas is Southern because of its
Tennessee settlers then the bottom 2/3 of Illinois is Southern too.
Abe Lincoln wasn't not, by far, the only Kentuckyian who migrated
north. My little country school was full of them -- well, it was only
20 students, max,, K-8 -- but we had plenty of Kentuckyians. Here in
Greenview, we have lots of them, which is nice because they sure can
fiddle and sing.
