Topic: Boston Dialect.

Anyone out there who can help me out with some language from Southie or? I wanna include it in one of my books. Not much but enough to make the character relevant. If not, please point me in the right direction. Thanks, NBW fam. Zack

Re: Boston Dialect.

Ask Linda Lee. She sets lots of stuff in Boston. All I can think of is using the "ah" sound for "ar." Cah instead of car. That kind of thing. She does a mean Irish brogue in print, so ask.

Re: Boston Dialect.

I'm from Boston. What do you need help with?

Re: Boston Dialect.

Willing to help as well.

Re: Boston Dialect.

Awesome. Im working on the dialogue. Actually refining some things but want one of the characters to have a Bostonian accent. Not real Ireland thick. Does that make sense? It might take a few days to determine which character to change. Thank you for the help. I will let you know asap. ZAck

That odd mix of Irish and Bostonian is right up my alley. You can shoot me a message with questions, or drop me an email at  lukkabloom AT cox DOT net.
