Those Appalachia dialects are fun. I am a native of Appalachia, though
not from holler culture, and even I can have a hard time understanding
some of them. We had fun in a linguistics course that I took in uni
when we were studying the Appalachian dialects, because I could render
all of them from IPA *perfectly*, having grown up around people who
use the dialects we were studying.

But this thread has probably wandered into Lingo-land now. :)
