In Appalachia We Add Rs to Words - I LOVE the Way We Talk!

[@lj2937]

I'm Scottish and live in Scotland, and it is very interesting how similar your Appalachian words are so similar to working class Scottish words!! It's really familiar to me, I can understand every single word without any problem at all!!, even the obscure or unusual words!! All your words, even if they are slightly different, I can understand *exactly* what your Appalachian language means, without even the slightest explanations!! (: (:

[@elbertajohnson937]

Appalachia is filled with Irish/Scottish heritage

[@doogyob]

LJ, what you call working class Scottish words, are they Gaelic terms or are they derived from the higher and lower cants of the Highlands?

[@montanaliving4769]

Thats awesome! My Irish friend has to translate any good Scotsman for me lol. Its ok because she also has to tell me how to speak proper english!

[@wallacegibson1492]

I though it was a Norther Ireland thing Tipper, but obviously not. Like you I would change the last or middle of a word, usually an o, to a or ah. Such as winda (window), gat ( got), kind aff or kind a' (kind off), follah'd ( followed) holla'd ( hollowed something out), drapped (dropped), tah ( to ). Ironically, some words beginning with an 'a' we would drop(or drap)! Such as 'bout (about) ' round( around) 'tall (at all). I think it all comes down the fact that English is such an elastic and absorbing language that we can change so much of it or regress with it, and still understand what the gist is.

[@lisamaestas6642]

Tipper, I love that you continue to share your language and so enjoy listening to you and your family share your stories. My dad's family was from the Missouri Ozarks and listening to you so reminds me of my Granny. Please don't feel that you say things wrong ~ your way of speaking is part of who you and your family are, and it's a blessing that you continue to be proud of your heritage and are sharing it with us. I look forward each day to the joy and feeling of peace that you and your family bring to my world. Thank you all!

When you said that you had already said a word in the video wrong and put a r on it, I Hadn't noticed it. People around here say holler as well. We have a few words we say around here I haven't heard you use or mention. "Might Near" is one some use for meaning that they are close or near to something or almost there, or "Pert Near". Another is "Betwinxed" instead of between. I told my mom a good while back that the way you guys talked, you must be my people. Then later on I heard you mention that in a video, so it must be true. Great video Tipper, as always!

I’ve had people tell me that we (southerners) say words “wrong”. Well what they don’t understand is that a lot of the “wrong” pronunciations are actually correct and they (northerners) have changed the sounds and spellings. The Scott’s-Irish dialect that is so prevalent in the south is absolutely beautiful!! Idk why anyone would want to change it.

I love embracing accents and it’s amazing that I can almost pick out the states people are from because of their accents. We were all created so uniquely, and it’s a blessing to be able to share our differences and our love of our language! Great job celebrating the Appalachia language!

[@rolandpinette9946]

I love the way you talk, too, Tipper. When I first started watching your videos, I had to focus intently on your words in order to understand. After 2.5 years, your speech is as normal to me as the vernacular in my own region. As different as our language may be, there are similarities. For example, words ending in the letter "a", are often replaced with "er", even here. For example, my sister Lisa was often called Liser, much to my mother's chagrin. Canada is Canader, to many in my region. I haven't heard any of the "ow"-to-"er" changes up here, except for "feller". Hopefully you folks didn't get any ice in the recent storm. It's too cold here for ice, so that's a silver lining!

I lost a lot of my southern Indiana accent when I lived 10 years in Michigan and 5 in Wisconsin. My ancestors were mostly Appalachian and it shows in our Hoosier talk. My Michigander husband's work moved us to the southernmost edge of Ohio and we rented a house in the country. Because we didnt have the whole accent if we told people we lived in Hope Holler they thought we were teasing them....but if we said we lived in Hope Hollow they thought we sounded stuck up.😂 We finally gave up and just said we lived down at the bottom of Hope Road.😂 Over time my natural accent reasserted itself. I figure I sound about back to normal now. After living all around the US and up into Canada my brother moved back home. I notice his Hoosier twang is back too. Not sure if its in the brain or in the blood. I love that English speakers throughout the world sound alike and different at the same time. Love your channel partly fir your stories and partly because just hearing y'all talk sounds like home.❤ PS- names....I know sisters in West Virginia named Yvonne and Yvette, pronounced Ya-Von and Ya-Vet. Also I've known four women with the Bible name Naomi. All spelled the same, one was said as Nay-O-me, one was Na-O-mah, One was Nee-O-mee and one was Nee-O-mah. And I've known two women called Pat or Patsy whose given name was actually Thelma. Not sure how that came about. Its fun to notice these things 😊

It's a feeling that makes you smile when you are in a place far from home where the accents are different and you are going down an aisle of a store and across the way you hear, "Y'all come on over here and look at this!" in an accent that sounds like home. All the sudden you have a kindred spirit. I am like you and instead of er on the end of words that end ow I say uh .. as in pilluh, winduh, and yelluh. You are right though. I have less of the accent than my mama and daddy. And my kids have less than me. What we call our parents and grandparents is another thing. We say mama and daddy as well as mamaw and papaw. You hear mom and Dad and grandma and grandpa and other things in other areas. Language is fascinating. And again the sound of the southern accent immediately takes me home. God bless y'all.

This is always so interesting to me. My paternal family , as I do still, lived in south Texas. My maternal family roots are PA and West Virginia. I have heard word pronunciations in a mix of what you are saying. My daughter has explored both ancestries and found both have deeper roots in the Carolinas. I often wondered about such words and am beginning to see a carry over from my families origins. We often,still, laughed at my mother saying “warsh the clothes” and my grandmother saying “ pillacases”. I love it. Is there a book that contains such as you are sharing of regional dialects? In Texas I grew up, and still do, pronounce “barb wire” as a “bob ware fence”. “Caterpillars” are “Catapillas”. It’s who we are that lives in the roots of languages! I love all your channels!

I'm 58 and born and raised in rural N FL (true FL south territory). My mama always said 'pillar' for pillow, 'winder' for window, 'maters' and 'taters'. We 'cranked' the car instead of starting it, and "check the 'awl'" if there's a problem with the engine. "I 'cain't' figure out this problem." I still to this day tend to say "the leftovers are in the 'ice box'." We tend to leave the 'th' off 'that', instead saying "at right there is a purty car." Many more that I can't think of right now.

[@bluegrassboy]

I'm from northeast KY, but I now live in southeast KY. I've noticed many numerous differences in what we say since I've been living here the last 10 years even though its just 3 hours apart. I grew up eating hot dogs with "sauce". When you went to the local hot dog stand or got one at a high school football game, you got them "plain" or "with sauce". Where I live now (or basically anywhere not the area I was raised,) hardly anyone has ever even heard that, it's always a hotdog with "chili". But its not chili like you'd eat in a bowl, it's a hamburger _sauce_ 😄. Where I was raised, you might hear a conversation like, "Where in the world is he goin? It's hard tellin with that boy." Where I live now they say, "untellin'". "It's untellin' what that youngin' will do". I also sometimes hear sometimes folks refer to the youngest sibling as the "least" one or the "least'un". I had never heard that until I moved here. I grew up calling a wasp a wasp, but here, among the older folk, it's often "wasper" or "waspert". Queer, is sometimes used to declare something or someone, is just plain weird. But it's pronounced like "choir" or like choir with a Q maybe but with little to no long I sound in the middle. "He's plum qoir actin.'" Heard it many times, but mostly from the older folks.

The biggest part that has been learning (aside from hearing terms like "buggies" = "shopping kart") but has been the pacing of how people speak out here. Its very... hmm slow. I grew up very rural and am used to a slower-pace of life but the speech patterns in this area (North Eastern Georgia) is really profound. This is above and beyond all of the different words/accents around.

I'm from Southwest VA, I've heard and said many of these.

In Northern Irish, we say the winder or windy for window. The potatoes is same, we say tatters or tatties but your saying it how we pronounce it so think you've a wee bit of Northern Irish running through your veins lol. The pillow is same...pilla. I'd love to go meet you in NC ❤️

My grandpaw always said " Nawth Caliner" For North Carolina. My favorite mountain expression I heard my relatives in Haywood Co. and sadly don't hear anymore is " THEY, I want You To Listen", I thought that was a neat expression to hear as a young'n ! I still say it today to keep it alive.

I’m from Louisiana, along Atchafalaya river, and I grew up around People talking Cajun French, and I can remember growing up, in the 60s, in school we were punished for speaking Cajun French, we had to speak English, and now you rarely come across anyone, that can speak Cajun French, I language has died. It’s really sad 💁🏻‍♀️

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

That is sad Sue.Thank you for watching!

[@rhondabutler4172]

My husband and I go to Abbeville LA each year in March and you can hear a few people there still speaking Cajun but not very often. It is fascinating to listen to.

[@joycewilson3787]

That is so sad! I have heard someone speak with a cajun accent before and it was very soothing to me. I hope you can record yourself speaking in your wonderful accent and dialect so you can pass it down to your children.

[@joycewilson3787]

I just now remembered when I was in 6th grade and we were all reading aloud from a book and my passage had the word eggs in it and I pronounced it "aighs" and he corrected me in front of the class. That irks me now thinking on it. Phooey on his highfalootin ways. LOL

[@Angela_Alaimo]

Sue, it's not dead! It's still up in Quebec City, where the Acadians lived til they were sent via ship to New Orleans and ended up Cajuns. Your language isn't gone yet

[@unclemonster48]

Aight den’ tipper y’all have a good eve. Love yalls content between y’all and Donnie laws and I’m sure some others. But y’all are preserving our southern heritage and language. Our people are the salt of the earth I believe. Everyone I know that has moved to my state was shocked it wasn’t like what they heard. It’s always been home to me. I can relate to y’all very much with language and lifestyle.

My father's Tennesse influence leads me to say "I gotta idee".

My grandma always added R’s to things, warshcloth, but then she’d say “wooshing” the clothes 😂😂 I miss those days

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

😀 Love that

[@Cong471]

Thanks for this video. Tipper based on the way I have heard words pronounced and the way I have said words I could have grown up right down the road from you. Also at Flat Creek we would always change an i to an a. Fire became far, tire became tar, etc. Thank you for what you do.

[@benlaw4647]

I always enjoy these! I am very familiar with these and myself as well as my family members have used these same words/names ..thanks tipper...God bless....🙏❤

My husband's Dad was raised in the mountains of Todd, NC and his Mother in the mountains of West Jefferson, NC. My husband was born in Jefferson, NC. They migrated to Gaston County when they were newlyweds. She went back home to have my husband. His Dads homeplace is called Hoot Owl Hollar. They had a sign made for the beginning of the property and when they got it back the person who made it corrected their spelling of hollow. It made all of us mad. LOL

I'm a south Ga girl with a southern drawl that tends to give all my words at least two syllables. Northerners will strike up a conversation just to hear my accent. We make friends easily "thadda" way. 😉❤

[@holliesheet3182]

The differences accents are such a variety! This was delightful to listen and watch!

[@tammiescreations4340]

I could just hear my momaw talking while watching this. 😊❤

[@davidhensley76]

In some British usage if a word ends with a vowel sound and the next word starts with a vowel sound an 'r' slips in. "Bananar and apple." If the following word starts with a consonant sound, no 'r'. "Banana box" In an episode of the "Carol Burnett Show" two audience members were named Teresa and Terea. Teresa slipped in an 'r' when she said their names and Carol Burnett heard it as 'Teresa Rentaria.'

[@kennethdean2417]

Tipper, you really made my day, I couldn’t stop laughing Not at you but with you 😂😊

[@deltonwatts9726]

Good reminders of WV!

[@Teaally1913]
