With all of this talk about 'talk,' some of you might be interested in a dictionary of regional speech from my neck of the woods (southern Appalachia), that's being published.

Arto wrote... The Americans and Englishmen, Schotts, Welshsmen, Australians and Canadians usually never write so that I need dictionaries. [Ron Fletcher] We have several Englishmen and a few Scots on this list. But, the Welsh (and Irish) seem conspicuous by their absence. (Are there any?) Although I am British and live in the UK, I still like to think I am English. Of course, the majority of English-speaking people on this list are American, some Canadian. All the rest have adopted this peculiar language to share in lute-related topics. Their knowledge may be greater than ours, they just may not know all our words. Best Wishes Ron (UK)
