I'm new to this list, so please forgive my ignorance of your book. Does it
cover anything of the Appalachian dialect? I am writing a short story that
has the main character speaking in an Appalachian dialect and I need to
document it carefully for class. There are Appalachian speakers all around
me, but I can't find much in the way of documentation!
