Paul Fink's Bits of Mountain Speech is a dictionary of ""folk
speech."" In this work Fink has provided a glossary of terms that
are often considered the language of the less educated people of
the mountains of Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee. They
are sometimes archaic, sometimes quaint, and almost always
idiomatic. The language Fink examines is a holdover of earlier
times when the Scots, Irish, and Welsh settled the region,
therefore many of the pronunciations are reminiscent of Celtic
languages. Not only does he list unusual words that he has come
across, but he also uses them in sentences in order to interpret
the word or phrase and clarify its meaning.
