Actually YOU do! LOL!!!

Us Hillbillies just speak original colonial american for the most part. Our isolation coupled with our inbreeding kept all those evil foreign influences at bay.LOL


"Recent research suggests that Appalachian English developed as a uniquely American dialect as early settlers re-adapted the English language to their unfamiliar frontier environment. This is supported by numerous similarities between the Appalachian dialect and Colonial American English."

If things in this country get too bad, WV will just close the roads and ignore the brief sideshow that the 21st century has been bringing us.


I recently posted this in Arfcom when someone asked about the least culturally diverse states:

Quote:I don't know if we're really number one or not, but we gotta at least be high in the running.


White persons, percent, 2011 (a)94.1%
Black persons, percent, 2011 (a)3.5%
American Indian and Alaska Native persons, percent, 2011 (a)0.2%
Asian persons, percent, 2011 (a)0.7%
Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander persons, percent, 2011 (a)Z0.2%
Persons reporting two or more races, percent, 20111.4%
Persons of Hispanic or Latino Origin, percent, 2011 (b)1.3%
White persons not Hispanic, percent, 201193.0%

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic...mographics

"At the 2010 Census, 93.2% of the population was non-Hispanic White, 3.4% non-Hispanic Black or African American, 0.2% non-Hispanic American Indian and Alaska Native, 0.7% non-Hispanic Asian, 0.1% from some other race (non-Hispanic) and 1.3% of two or more races (non-Hispanic). 1.2% of West Virginia's population was of Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin (they may be of any race)."

"Only 1.1% of the state's residents were foreign-born, placing West Virginia last among the 50 states in that statistic. It also has the lowest percentage of residents that speak a language other than English in the home (2.7%)."

We are slowly trending towards being a "red" state politically, and if we actually make the conversion it'll make us the Appalachian Redoubt of the East.
