I am more of a plantation drawl but I think the mountain speech I was talking about must be the Appalachian twang. My ancestry is mostly Scottish with some Welsh, Dane, and Irish. My Scottish ancestor came here to NC in the 1700’s after the Scottish clearances and settled in the mountains of NC before moving South. I read somewhere that the Southern speech originated with immigrants from Scotland.
