Smith Island



Smith Island, Maryland is home to a peculiar accent that's managed to stay English-sounding (specifically West Country, that is, Cornwall, Devon, etc.) since the island was first settled by the British in the 17th century, and the above clip features a few speakers of it.

Also, ignore that horse's ass of an anchorman at the end. The one who makes the butter crack. I bet he's not even from Maryland anyway.
