Charming article here, pertaining to the WV-Elizabethan connection: The Dialect of The Appalachian People "

The "Lincoln Co." to which the author keeps referring to is my mother's birthplace. Some of these expressions I remember pretty vividly, some are altogether new. (I have a feeling there are even dialectal variations from one valley to the next!)
