Midland. The Midland (please don’t confuse with "Midwest") itself is the neutral zone between the North and South. But just because you have a Midland accent doesn’t mean you’re from there. Since it is considered a neutral, default, "non-regional" accent you could easily be from someplace without its own accent, like Florida, or a big city in the South like Dallas, Houston, or Atlanta.

I beg to differ with their yellow line, I reckon that folks south of Chicago [at least in Illinois] tend to have a tinge of Southern in their speech.
So much so that I call anything south of the Chicago burbs and west of Rockford … “Southern Illinois”…
