Now ya see, that's there's your more "Southeastern Style Hickphonics" which has been preverted by entirely too much yankee influence(note the prevalence of "i", "e", and "u" sounds). On t'other hand, your "Southwestern Style Hick-a-phonetics" has a lot more drawl an' a prevalence of "ah", "oo" and "uh" sounds.(ex. SE-"hire yew" SW-"how're ya doin' thar, bub")
Now it takes a fine ear(SE or SW) to separate between "all", "oil", an' "awl", but thar's a definite difference in the usage. Then ag'in, it's nia-onta impossible to 'splain the whys and wherefores of how ya put grease in the car, but you greez a pig or a pan. Outsiders jus' don't seem ta fathom this import'nt differentiation, don'cha know.
Hey,,,, gotta run, but I'll git back ta ya later, if'un ya wanna discuss some more......
Best of luck, George |
