#8: Tangier, VA
Tangier is a small island off the coast of Virginia in the Chesapeake Bay and was settled very early in the creation of America. You can visit there and feel like you’ve returned in time. No, it isn’t a living museum like Williamsburg. Instead, the residents still speak the way colonists did hundreds of years ago.

The residents of Tangier have unique accents that aren’t identifiable right away. Are they Southern? Are they British? Yes, they are a mix of both. Linguistic experts say that their dialect is very similar to that of those who settled there in the 1700s and is very close to a Cornwall accent.
