Appalachian Vocabulary Test 2 - See if You Know the Words!

In this video I'm giving the girls a test on Appalachian language! I feature a vocabulary test every month on my blog Blind Pig and The Acorn. I thought it would be fun to test the girls' knowledge of Appalachian language in a video. Hope you enjoy!

Adding the written words onscreen is a great addition!

[forestwolf]

I could listen to y'all talk all night. Stay true ladies! God bless.

[skokianable]

I've always enjoyed the vocabulary tests, and your young ladies have such a sense of fun it makes the tests are even better!

I love the interaction between the three of you! Always enjoyable, thank you.

[amycountiss]

Thank you for this channel!!! I love it!! Some of these I knew and then some of them, I didn't. The ones I did know, I still use to this very day!! Thank you ladies for sharing.

Love these vocabulary tests! And the sibling rivalry in giving the answers. I remember a lot of these words from my grandparents and great-grandparents.

[careymccarthy]

Your daughters are so lovable. You should be so proud of them.

[genemcnabb]

So pure and wholesome. Beautiful girls to listen to and watch their antics.😇

I love these tests and getting to hear from the girls. They are sooo funny. I like it whenever you have members of the family in the videos. Words and language are such a big part of whatever culture you come from. I notice that when I'm in big groups of people from all over that I automatically trust and drift to the folks who speak like I do. Another great video Mrs. Tipper😃 I'm also loving the the last two chapters of Mountain Path that you have read to us and I can't wait to hear more. God bless

I loved that Video Tipper I wish I knew Appalachian terminology Please Keep making More of them

[chungus_khan]

I love it, I'm Scotch-Irish descended & live within the realm of Appalachia; I'm a mid-Maryland city slicker, but some of/A LOT of Appalachia lingo, slang, & terminology permeates not just my typical everyday vocabulary, (I revel in it & talk as much Appalachian as I can) but also many other folks that probably don't even realise where their daily vocab even comes from. Keep up the GREAT content, y'all REALLY inspire a whole lotta regional pride! God bless y'all!!!

[bryanlee]

Catie is a dollbaby! Love to hear her talk!
