Mountain People, Cherokee Tribe

Mountain People, Cherokee Tribe


I just discovered two great clips from the North Carolina Language and Life Project. One illustrates Cherokee language; the other focuses on the dialect of neighboring whites.
The differences are interesting, but watch for similarities -- the accents, the clothes, a passion for home, and, in both clips, an express preference to be with their own people.
Also, there's a thrilling occurrence of "peckerwood," which may be the funniest word in all of English.
