Some of this has diverged into dialect vs. slang. If you want to hear a crazy and beautiful dialect, check out the Ocracoker brogue.

I'm a big Pat Conroy fan, and I *adore* the Gullah language, which is spoken in the islands of the South Carolina Delta by many people, though it is sadly disappearing. Different set of islands, different language/dialect, but still fascinating and beautiful. I can listen to the ladies in the market in Downtown Charleston all day as they weave sweetgrass baskets and chew the fat. Gorgeous.
