Pittsburgh n'at.

I've been feeling really nostalgic lately. Nostalgic for my beloved city, Pittsburgh. Later in the week I'll have some classic Pittsburgh cuisine coming your way but until then I'll leave you with this. 

Regional Dialects: Pittsburghese. 

"A dialect is a regional variation of a language distinguished by distinctive vocabulary, spelling, and pronunciation" (Rubenstein, 110). 

Fondly referred to as Pittsburghese, Pittsburgh has a unique and distinct regional dialect. Want to pick up some Pittsburghese? Check out this website

Also, enjoy these: Pittsburgh Dad. 

This native Pittsburgher has a series of videos on youtube called Pittsburgh Dad. It's pretty ridiculous but also a pretty accurate depiction of the Pittsburgh accent and dialect.
