I have never been there- but I did know a lot of those words. Maybe because of the kids I hung around with when I was young. 😁
‘In this video I’m giving the girls a test on Appalachian language! I feature a vocabulary test every month on my blog Blind Pig and The Acorn. I thought it would be fun to test the girls’ knowledge of Appalachian language in a video. Hope you enjoy! ‘- Celebrating Appalachia

I ‘us bornt an’ raised in Appalachia. This here talkin’ done putt near is the way we talk. All cattywhompus.
I think Sowell mentions the language, dialect, vernacular, and idiom of the Appalachians in “Race and Culture” but it’s been years since I read it. A lot of it is similar to “Black” (negro) speech.
Now, whether that was the North Appalachians (from southern New York south) or the southern (to northern Alabama and Georgia), I don’t recall.

This doesn’t seem all that different from the Ozarks.
