I started writing a #blog this year to document the #stories behind the stories & to Change the Narrative on #Appalachia and #Appalachians.
I am poor at marketing the blog but the fabulous Amy Johnson Crow promoted my latest entry about Appalachian #Dialect and #Language.
Fun trivia: The #video in the blog kicked off my intiative to Change the Narrative. 
To read the blog & watch the short video:

Has anybody used #Glottolog data?
It is a database of languoids, that is, it contains information on dialects, languages and language families globally, their geographical "ranges", and inter-language relations, and has potential for some pretty cool analyses. Awesome #OpenData for sure. However, I am unsure how it compares to #WALS or #Ethnologue data.
I've been participating in Amy Johnson Crow's #Genealogy #52ancestors #Blog Challenge for 2025.
This week is about #Language. And, my biggest issue with language is explaining that #Appalachians are not poorly educated or lazy due to the way they speak and their #dialect.
Check out the blog & #video for some common sayings.

"Nijmegen heeft allerlei stadsspecialisten: een stadsdichter, een stadsarchivaris, een stadsarcheoloog, een stadstekenaar … en nu ook een stadstaalkundige. Taalwetenschapper Luis Miguel Rojas-Berscia is de gelukkige en zoals zijn naam al doet vermoeden: hij is niet in Nijmegen met Nimweegs dialect opgegroeid."

Winton's book contains some of those clippings so popular in Australian English: bronzies, deckie, Landy, oldies, vollies, wetty, and others.
Without context it's hard to guess them unless you know AusEng. I've updated my post on the phenomenon:

"Agin" = "against" is a feature of colloquial Irish English. Hence the joke "He who is not for us is a Guinness" ["agin us"], and the dialect word "aginner": one who opposes or begrudges something

Since learning the South Jutlandic dialect of Danish from my wife, I've always been aware that – compared to standard Danish – many final syllables are omitted, so they rely much more on tone and length to distinguish words.
I've recently found a verb that is conjugated entirely through tones and lengths. ‘at vende’ – ‘to turn’:
vende – /vɛ̌nː/
vender – /vɛ̂n/ or /vɛn̰/
vendte – /věːn/
vendt – /vêːn/ or /vḛːn/

unrleated but a friend asked how I pronounce the word "poem".
MEMORY UNLOCKED.
I was LIVID with a study workbook in Japan (so 6 to 10 y.o., which was 2nd or 3rd to 5th grade for me).
Fucking thing dinged me for saying "fire" was TWO syllables.
Because it IS!
If "fire" was ONE syllable, it would be "Far", a different fuckign word.
"Fai yer" or "fie err".

Gamers, what do you know about Dialect?
I've found a few playthroughs I'm going to watch. I'm curious about your personal experience or things you've heard.

Tickled by a comment on this post about two dialect words that shows Julie Andrews, in Mary Poppins, mispronouncing "stravaging" the same way I did:
