The folks in this region speak a purer form of English than is spoken most anywhere in the world . The English spoken here is more closely related to Shakespeare's English than any other dialect in the world. So, the pronunciation issue doesn't lie at the feet of the people in the mountains. Just because folks on the news want to pronounce a word a certain way doesn't mean that is the way the word was originally meant to be pronounced. Appalachia should be pronounced as APPLE-AT-CHA

@MrCantstandliberals yeah- ilove it- I can't stand them either

[MrCantstandliberals]

[MrCantstandliberals]

[lucy9359]

love the music reminds me of where I came from and grew up Northern Ontario Canada much of it is like this...but I must say a hardy people!

I agree with "debrarf" - my family origins are also from Appalachia, Kentucky, and though there are places like in the video, there really are some beautiful places there, too and the video doesn't show them. Not necessarily rich places - simple and even poor - but clean, neat and pretty. How about another video with some of THOSE places in it?

[debrarf]

I am somewhat offended by this video..my people are from Appalachia and we have always said it's ok to be poor..but don't be dirty..there are many clean well kept places in Appalachia..this isn't a fair display of the people..sure their poor but not all live like this video portrays.

my thoughts go out to my scotch, irish, and english counterparts in appalachia and the deep south!

Love the good ole folks there, love the music.... I just wish they would clean their damned garbage up !!! Old junk cars and mattresses tossed away in mountain streams is just pure stupidity.
