How good is this. From Aust, never never loose that Appalachian Accent. Its from the Scots Irish (me too) and the birthplace of Country Music.

i'm from KY, lived here all my life. and i'm proud to be a Kentuckian and an Appalachian. i absolutely love it here, more than i can express in words. Appalachia is such a great place, the history, the culture, the language. my favorite part is the land though. even though its just a fraction of what it used to be centuries ago, its still beautiful country here, and wild too! the music is just fantastic, i never much cared for country. but bluegrass? mannnnn. its just so good! Appalachia is fantastic though, i just can't say enough good about this region.

Well spoke!

I loved watching ma and Pa kettle with my grandmother, who recently died. We were from rural pennsylvania, but as she said all the time "That's how they did it in them days!" It might not be conventional, like language, but whatever works.

I wish I could speak the language of my parents and grandparents. I'm fom the mountains of NC. but left for college and have been gone for 40 years. I don't have that accent anymore. I don't speak with illustrations anymore instead I speak more directly. My wife says that I fall into it more when I speak on the phone to my family. I heard a tape of my mom and aunts speaking back in the 1970s....they are all dead now. They didn't say, "I am busy." They said, "I'm covered up." Their taped language was so different from what most people speak today. It nearly sounded like a different language. I suppose language and dialects are always in flux. As far as being looked down upon for my accent. I never worried about it. I enjoy hearing pretty sounds from wherever.

its a spanish accent the US accent is spanish, the spanish empire in the americas has had way more impact on americans than anything else
