Different Dialects emerging in south Florida

[lg325]

An interesting subject. It sort of reminds me of the cracker dialect or southern rural dialect. I was called on as a schoolboy because I could translate the dialect in Zora Neal Hurston's stories.

Emerging? Elitist academics are about a hundred years too late in interpreting the mish mash of Florida language. There is no "cracker" rural Florida and there hasn't been since the freaking interstate went through fifty years ago.. Anybody can see that today's Florida dialect is mostly NY and Brooklyn Jewish slang with a smattering of Spanish.
