Forwarded from Heritage Appalachia
The Appalachian Dialect of the English language is unique. Considered to be a remnant of 16th Century Elizabethan English in isolation, but with a large amount of influence given by the Ulster Scots who settled here long ago. There are sub dialects within Appalachia... looking at the Western PA dialect predominant in Central Appalachia (people up there will call a creek a "crick", I learned this working with some people from up there in high school, we just call it a creek here in Southern Appalachia, among other differences in dialect). Down here in S. Appalachia we add -er to the end of words often ending in -ow (Up in the holler, look at that feller, shut that winder!) To sum it all up, don't let these flatlanders or anyone bother you about your dialect. Fuck em, we don't need them! NEVER HAVE!!
