Reply to comment by Switch-in-MD in TIL residents of Tangier Island, 12 miles off the coast of Virginia, have remained so isolated they still speak a dialect similar to the original colonists from the 1700s by emily_9511

The article literally has video evidence of people today speaking with the accent. How you gonna disagree with the headline without even reading the article dude.

The article also points out that the accent is fading fast, for exactly those reasons.

Interesting enough to read the title and maybe a few summaries in the comments. Definitely not interesting enough to read an article.
