Something approaching Shakespearean speech can sometimes be encountered in isolated valleys in the Appalachian or Ozarks, where words like afeard, yourn, sassy and consarn, and old pronunciations like " jine" for join, can still sometimes be heard.

在阿巴拉契亚山脉或欧扎克山脉的偏僻山谷中，有时会遇到接近莎士比亚语言的东西，那里有时仍会听到像 afeard、yourn、sassy 和 consarn 这样的词，以及像“jine”这样代表 join 的古老发音。
