Dictionary of Mountain Talk

By Judy Henley Phillips

Mountain talk is gradually disappearing. Its demise is largely the result of education and the influence of television and radio. This page was created so that the language would not be entirely lost.

Some blog readers will find nothing new at this site but those of you without mountain roots or who are far from them will find it enlightening and potentially useful.

Note: This site apparently has recorded mountain speech but, unfortunately, your browser must be able to run Apple Quicktime in order to hear it.
