Michigan has an accent, but it’s not drastic. “Tire” is “tahr,” for example. I know because I picked it up.

Here in south central Michigan there are a lot of southerners who have been here for 2 or 3 generations but still have close family in the south so they don’t really lose their accents.

My last boss was a guy named Gator who has never lived south of the state line.
