In this episode: Do You Speak American? heads into the Deep South for a look at Appalachian and “hillbilly,” shaped by the Scots-Irish English of early frontier settlers like Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett. Footage of the legendary North Carolina storyteller Ray Hicks, who died in 2003, captures a prime example of the dialect, and in Rabbit Hash, Kentucky, “country talkin’” seems to be alive and kicking.MacNeil gets a first-hand glimpse into the world of CB radio thanks to Spanky the Trucker, whose nephew, the country singer Cody James – an Oregon native – discusses how speaking “country” had become a national trend. During a performance in front of a packed house, the popular stand-up comedian Jeff Foxworthy imparts the meaning of words like manaze (pronounced “may-naze”) and witchudidga (pronounced “witch-uh-did-yuh”). Then, it’s on to the bayou for a night of traditional dancing at Fred’s Lounge in Mamou, Louisiana, where owner Tante (Aunt) Sue speaks English smothered in Cajun overtones. At a barbecue on the Bar J Ranch outside of Beesville, Texas, cowboys recite their poetry and point out the Spanish roots of words like bronco, stampede, corral, and rodeo. Songwriter and novelist Kinky Friedman, a “professional Texan,” talks about cattywhompus and larrupin, and in Austin, journalist and commentator Molly Ivins sits down with MacNeil to share her thoughts on true Texan English. Finally MacNeil investigates the controversy created by the town of El Cenizo, Texas, which has adopted Spanish as its “official” language.
