You may be familiar with the “Heartland Series” on WBIR.
I once saw the host, Bill Landry, speaking with a Professor of Linguistics from UT and he claimed that the East Tennessee dialect was the oldest existing dialect in the english language. Now that's a pretty strong statement right there. Whether true or not it's still a shame that the dialect is disappearing.

You may be familiar with the “Heartland Series” on WBIR. Not a TV watcher any more; but, I heard that mentioned just the other day. Is it available online?
