I grew up here, and I'm here to tell you, confusing strangers is Meat and Potatoes here, and always will be until t
So is the dialect basically completely dead now?
@@stover14 No, there are the longtime locals and folks who pick it up like how some folks speak Esperanto. The Nature of Alexander Valley has Gentrified drastically to where at on time the median house Price was higher than Marin County, directly across from San Francisco. So, a lot of the generational families have moved on or died out. The Pomo First Nations had a unique language that unfortunately has died out completely. The last speaker passed in 1988 I believe. 😬
The local CHP Officer is Burl Evans. (R.I.P.)

Bucky Walter That's all I know
Went to jr hi & hi schl here, younger brother was taught this in school
I grew up in Boonville too. I learned some Boontling when I was in elementary school. My dad was the high school flight teacher, John Merriman! Pretty special place.
A relative of mine may have been one of his students. I know he got his pilot's license before he got his driver's license. And he went to high school there. But he was from far away. In Philo.
I actually grew up there, my dad was born and raised there. Neat place.
Do you speak Boontling? What is the state of the language today?
@@MaxAguero94 not many people speak it anymore. I'm form the area and never heard anyone say it. I've never heard of it until recently to.
Oh my goodness! How I miss those fun times & people! The film driving next to the “relf”- rail fence was down the hill from our ranch. Made me cry. Wish I could ID the kid
I lived there for years
@@MaxAguero94 bahl hornen means good drinking in boontling
Dag gummit.
It’s sad I’m reading an article (hence why I’m here) that says there is only 12 people who still speak this dialect....
Oh no worries; there exists unique boontling like languages. I may even in my lifetime just convince a group of individuals to learn an interesting
The town of Boonville, California, has its own dialect called Boontling that has fewer than 100 speakers and consists of many languages.
I think Charles Kuralt beat you to that bit of information.

I remember this piece from when it originally aired and was glad to find it here again - thanks for posting it. This 'Boonville' is spelled with only one E, though.
