Appalachian English explained
I came across this article which simply explains our Appalachian English and why we talk the way that we do. It also explains why it's Appa-LATCH-un and not that other blasphemous pronunciation. Enjoy...

We don't slide at Appalachian State. It's a sign of weakness.

Re: Appalachian English explained
This is one of several articles I've seen on the subject. There was a book in my parents' house titled "The Queen's English" that detailed the connection between Southern and Elizabethan English. I'll keep my accent and my odd words with great glee.

Re: Appalachian English explained
Thanks so much for posting this site - I have already read several of the articles and plan to read more - so much, so true for people of Appalachia and especially West BY GOD Virginiascatman77 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 28, 2017 7:55 amI came across this article which simply explains our Appalachian English and why we talk the way that we do.

Re: Appalachian English explained
Excellent article. I'm sending it to my brother in law in Richmond who continually mispronounces "Appalachian" even after being corrected numerous times. I think it may be intentional now. Very condescending.

Re: Appalachian English explained
Just yesterday I was in a cafe in Delaware for breakfast. Up here traveling on business. I started to order and the waitress started to grin. I asked her what was wrong? She asked me where are you from? I have never heard that accent before. I told her I was from the blue ridge mountains of North Carolina. She was nice about it and didn't try to poke fun at me. I told her I spoke Appalachian American not English!

Re: Appalachian English explained
I was speaking to some of my Northern Relatives (wife's side, Ohio roots) this past weekend on the Appalachian dialect. I indicated that our dialect is one of (if not the most) purest forms of original Elizabethan language still in existence. It was just too much for my brother-in-law to handle in all of his "open mindedness."

Re: Appalachian English explained
Interesting article; however, with the exception of the *'un example, all or most of the other wording and pronunciations are prevalent through the rural south. When I showed up in Boone, the only term I couldn't figure out was "you'uns" which I think was more of a Linville, Spruce Pine, Little Switzerland sort of contraction then actually Boone.
Also, the outer bankers [originals] are said to speak the closest to Elizabethan English accents in the Americas.
