OK Max, so we have certain southernisms that distinguish our language from, say, the King's English but my favorite northernisms are:
cah... automobile May Chaz borrow the cah for the night?
bah...a place to get a drank Pinkie and I are meeting Chaz at the bah.
beah.... One variety of dranks at a bah Sweeti would you come over heah and bring me and Pinkie a cold beah.

My absolute for real favorite. I had a kid from NYC in my platoon several years ago and I overheard him telling some southern boys.."youse guys talk funny".
I love it.

But wait, those "ahs" aren't gone. In a nod to Yankee thrift, the "R" is reassigned to words ending in "A." People from Woosta (Worcester) and Berrica (Billerica) routinely visit their Aunt Lindar in Tampar, Floridar.

A transplant from Chumpsfed (Chelmsford, MA) to well, Floridar.
