The online travel guide curator and publisher Big 7 Travel released its "USA's Sexiest Accents for 2019" results Tuesday, and the Ozark accent ranks No. 1.

Results were determined through a survey of 1.5 million voters from across the world, the publication says.

The article goes on to explain the accent:

Spoken in the Ozark Mountain region of northwestern Arkansas and southeastern Missouri, the vowels are shifted all over the place. Calm becomes ‘cam’ and share becomes ‘sheer’. And yes, Ferners (anyone not from the Ozarks) might have trouble understanding it.
