I'm new to this list, so please forgive my ignorance of your book. Does it

cover anything of the Appalachian dialect? I am writing a short story that

has the main character speaking in an Appalachian dialect and I need to

document it carefully for class. There are Appalachian speakers all around

me, but I can't find much in the way of documentation!
