I've noticed the same thing for remote accents in the UK. Lots of the older teachers when I was at school had much stronger, but also noticeably phonetically different in a few key ways, Welsh accents than us. Especially those that had been brought up a bit further into the rural expanse of mid-Wales, by Welsh-speaking parents. I had a teacher who used to pronounce the words 'soldier' and 'question' literally as spelt (soul-dee-err, cwes-tee-un). My family is from all over the place so I never had the full Welsh valleys accent, but even my friends at school whose grandparents had grown up in the area working in the mines had a different phonetics. I have a friend at university who studies linguistics and tells me mine is an example of a British accent that has become 'estuarised' (changed under the influence of accents from London, which themselves change over time as different ethnic groups have gained linguistic influence on British working class culture).

Can you work out where these North East US accents are 'going'? As in, is there a specific region whose accents they are merging with/towards?

North East accents are dying. Boston, New York, Philly, New Jersey. People from these places have only a ghost of the strong accents they used to have. The distinct Midwest accents in Chicago and Minnesota are also fading away.

Southern accents are a completely different story. There are so many different strong distinct accents in the South. Florida alone seems to have like 10 different accents. And all these accents are as strong as ever.

And Texans are 50/50. Two Texans can grow up right next to each other and one will have an accent and the other won't. Many boomers from other states moved to Texas so their kids grew up there without accents.
