The dialect there has the same sing song lilt and many of the same words. I grew up a little further south and closer to Atlanta so there were even more variations.<br /><br />Most of the words mentioned in the video I have heard at one time or another, except i-gogglin!<br /><br />This is fun, more please.<br /><br />JudySquirrelQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00634513897599275287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435521207575893989.post-29870833183735981442010-02-03T18:04:49.999-05:002010-02-03T18:04:49.999-05:00Great post, Sandra.

Ever since I was a little girl in England, I've been intrested in dialects. <br />I like your header, it reminds me of Neptune coming out of the sea.<br />Sunny :)Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04743103444717771768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435521207575893989.post-26888205837240273232010-02-03T17:59:53.383-05:002010-02-03T17:59:53.383-05:00Love how you did the header today!

Keep up the good dialect and language posts! Now we need a nap as we're both plum tuckered out from watching that video. I hope we don't oversleep so much that it's pert near dawn! Then we'd be hard pressed to make it to our Deacons meeting down yonder at the church.Ginny Hartzlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329131153403895625noreply@blogger.com
