You got the Southern Drawl,
the Western Twang,
The Irish Brogue,
the Scottish Burr,
and the Australian Strine.
What other names for regional accents are there?
Corn-belt rasp?
West Indian lilt
You mean accents which are not simply identified by where they come from?
Scouse (Liverpool and surrounds)
Cockney (London)
Received Pronunciation, aka RP (family of posh-sounding accents originating in southern England; how British actors and TV presenters often talk; the default accent for newsreaders)
RADA (Very posh strain of RP, from Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. Used in old British films such as Brief Encounter.)
I guess he/she means accents that have their own names beyond a simple “X accent” where X is a location.
I’ve never heard the last one. It’s just “Strine”, which is “Australian” in, well, Strine. Australian Strine is redundant.
Also, it’s Midwestern twang, righ
The Baltimore Mushmouth.
The Long Island Lockjaw
Da Bronx.
Castillian lisp.
Plus:
Norf Lunnon (North London, don’t you know)
West Country (=rural)
Brummie (from Birmingham)
Toon (from Newcastle)
Scottish (various)

Norn Iron accent = Northern Ireland
The Czech gargle.
(no offense; I have friends from the Czech Republic who told me this).
I’ve also heard Spanish speakers refer to the Mexican lilt as well.
The middle of Indiana has the Midwestern Flat, of David Letterman.
A lot of southern Hoosiers have the Mountain Twang of Dolly Parton and Loretta Lynn. Linguists say it came from the Scots and Irish coal miners who dug into the Apallachians and followed the coal west into Ohio and Indiana.
Northwest Indiana has the Calumet Region, where you’ll find the Chicago Crunch. Crunchers sound like they’re chewing the words and spitting them out. “Th” is very close to “t.”
Americans from India have a beautiful tonality I call the Song of India. It has the stamp of the time when the British thought they were in charge, but there’s a musical quality that comes from farther in the past.
Jamaican Patois.
