Re: PIE *a -- a preliminary checklist

That's not a hick accent, it's the local accent for
that part of the US. Y'all don' tawk lack a Yankee

I use to hear /ae/ > /ey/ all over that part of the US
from people of all professions --but only about a
quarter to half did it.
My favorite was: "hw@... kaena dreysin y'all wown awn yo
seil@..., reinc^ o freync^? Ae keyn neyvR teyl D@
dif@..., Dey O sawn D@ seym."
