[QUOTE="JW IN VA, post: 1758615, member: 21289"] VA has a number of accents and sub accents, too. You've got SW Va which is like Eastern KY. Long "I" sound and different contractions. Where in my part we say "I haven't" they say" I've not etc". Then you've got an area around Roanoke that has a little different sound. Only hear it in the old "natives". Eastern shore has it's own and the eastern slope of the Blue Ridge, Central and Southside have their own. One big thing is "Rs" sound like "ah" as in "ste ah" for steers. Over is Ovah. Some never "take" or "haul". They "carry" everything. Highland and some of Bath counties still retain a little different pronunciation to some words. Stockyard sounds a little like stalk yard. Some theory about the difference between East and West of the Blue Ridge is how they were settled. "East Virginia" was settled up from the coast by mainly English. West side was settled mostly by Scots Irish and Germans from Pennsylvania. The Scots kept a more "rhotic" sound and pronounced their "Rs". Even so, Kenny, JL, cfpinz and I could meet up and understand each other. :) Well, mostly😂 I enjoy listening to different accents from other parts of the state and nation. I always wonder why they feel they have to subtitle the so called hillbillies. I can understand them very well. :) [/QUOTE]
