Description
The remoteness of the Carolina Outer Banks and inland waterways helped to create a distinctive regional dialect in which older features of English were preserved and new features developed independently from mainland English. Today the speech of the local community is maintained with pride as an expression of heritage and identity. Rooted in twenty years of fieldwork, research and community ties, “The Carolina Brogue” is a lively portrait of contemporary life on the Carolina Coast, and a look at one of the most unique dialects in the world.
