Boontling in Boonville.m4v

[julesolder]

Yer gonna love it.

Your best chance of harpin Boontling is to hang out with an old-timer. One of the pleasures of making the video was to record what may be a dying lingo, or better, help revive interest in it.

So glad you liked our work.

That's Laytonville, not Lautonville. Sorry.

My brother lives in Lautonville and loves Boonville. He has tried to get me to go up for the beer festival several times but I've never made it. I live in New Orleans. This language has fascinated me ever since I heard of it from Anderson Valley beer bottles. Great video. Very informative and entertaining. Can't wait to get out there and hear it spoken myself!

[julesolder]

Yes, and not just Vikings. (There's more in Charles Adams' book, BOONTLING: An American Lingo.)

Glad you liked the video. jules

This very informitive so I know Bahl Hornin is "Good Drinking" Do they call it Horrin because vikings use to drink out of Horns?

[julesolder]

Well, NOW yer harpin!

Enjoyed deeking on your ball video!

Thanks, WillitsGal. Glad you like it.

Now, Hopland. It's there because "Deekon" says that Boontling started with the women working in the hops fields. And how did Hopland get its name? Exactly.

Since you're from the region, you might enjoy our other video on Mendocino, Trains & Tango. We're now working on two, both historical, about Napa City.

They're all at youtube/julesolder.

Being a native of Boonville, I loved your video. Didn't quite understand why you included photos of Hopland though.

[julesolder]

I'm still gobsmacked that this impossibly small place could create ad maintain its own language/lingo for well over a century.

@TwoCows23 LOL. I'v not an idea of what you just said! Wow, I found a non-mutially intelligible English dialect!

[TwoCows23]

@ASHL0TTE Just a phonetic translation of 0:39. I have no idea how to actually spell it in Boontling.
