History-Sode | Ocracoke Brogue

from Auntie Jo Jo's Library Hosted by S+Co. Productions

Down in the Outer Banks of North Carolina lies Ocracoke Island, where the accent sounds like it’s from another time and another continent. In this special U.S.-Irish history-sode, we explore how Irish and Scottish settlers helped shape the unique Ocracoke Brogue, and how families like yours may have carried old-world language into a new coastal life. Sources Used: North Carolina Language and Life Project (NCLLP) "Hoi Toide on the Outer Banks" by Walt Wolfram & Jeffrey Reaser National Park Service: Ocracoke History Hyde County Historical Records RootsIreland.ie and Colonial Land Records Irish & Scottish Immigration Patterns to the American South (University of North Carolina Archives)
