Reply to comment by vonvoltage 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

I grew up in that area, and the old folks still have the dialect. The new generation, not so much. TV shows from the mainland and America are to blame.
