[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wards 7,8 and 9 do in fact have some very pronounced linguistic features. In a blinded test, you would be able to pick out the Ward 8 young woman from an array of same age/ same race young women from wards 1, 2, and 3 (basically WOTP). We are not allowed to discuss this however, even though linguists would explain that this dialect and/or language is valid and distinct. [/quote] I’m a native Washingtonian raised in Ward 8 (Congress Heights) and this is not at all true.[/quote] [b]Let’s start with ‘axt’ and go from there [/b][/quote] Yeah, that's not remotely unique to DC.[/quote]
