I have the pleasant joy of not really sounding like I'm from Indiana even to other Hoosiers, and I suppose that's fair enough when you consider that I was in my late teens when we moved back XD Part of it is that I never really stayed in one place long enough to develop a regional accent; I do have the generic East Coast impatience, though.
"Wuder" also seems to be a Pennsylvania thing, given that I heard it there too. (There are more egregious offenses here, probably thanks to the fact that I live close to the Kentucky state line; I would like to ban "them was", "is them", and "did her" for life. I am dying to tell someone that unfortunately I am not fluent in Stupid, but if they want to give standard English or Russian a good crack I will try to help.) Returning to your cousin from Arkansas: pot, kettle, black ;)
