Luv-ill is not acceptable, but we all understand what you mean when you say that. 😊 All of the “ville” towns in the South are pronounced “vul”. I even catch myself sometimes when I’m not thinking about it. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ending still needs a lot of cleaning but it's going to be great to see them live again in a couple of weeks. I think I cried thru their entire show last year in Indy.

Once you passed Indy, you were as good as in Kentucky. 😉 It has always amazed me that people north of the Mason-Dixon line could have more of a southern accent than this western Kentucky gal. Southern Indiana people sound like they may be decedents of the Appalachian Mountains, and/or the southern coastal states. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern end is very Applachian in orientation while the North end is very Great Lakes with its Germanic influences. I remember well the arguments with my cousins from Rushville over "you talk funny" "No you!" Edited July 24, 2022 by KVG_DC 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a friend in southern Indiana who claims she is 3/4ths German, but I'll bet that the other 1/4th is Aappalachian Scot Irish, since she has a very heavy southern accent.
