	Say what? Wisconsin linguist tackles Minnesota's Iron Range accent

		“While the U.P. (hence Yooper, hyway) Finns have embraced the pasty (pasties, plural), the origin is Cornish, arriving with Cornish miners who immigrated to the mining communities of America -- such as the copper and iron mines of the U.P. and the lead mines of SW Wisconsin.
		Reino, who has a wonderful pasty recipe via her aunt, and I were able to attend a session on ethnic foods at the 2002 FinnFest in Minneapolis this past August, where the ins-and-outs of the pasty were among topics hashed out by the presenter/scholar and the audience.

	Northern Ireland
		The dialect of English spoken in Northern Ireland shows heavy influence by that of Scotland, thereby giving it a distinct accent compared to other forms of Hiberno-English, along with the use of such Scots words as wee for 'little' and ay for 'yes'.
		Some jocularly call this version of Hiberno-English phonetically by the name Norn Iron.
		There are minute differences in pronunciation between Protestants and Catholics, the best known of which is the letter h, which Protestants tend to pronounce as "aitch", as in British English, and Catholics tend to pronounce as haitch as in Hiberno-English.

		And when a whale was thrown upon the coast of Norfolk he verified his notion of spermaceti; in later years he was able, through his son, to test his belief that the ‘Ostridge digesteth Iron’ after swallowing a nugget the bird died ‘of a soden’.
		But in the settling of a more commonplace problem, the reputed inequality of the badger’s legs, the mere report of the senses appears, happily for readers, to count less than abstract and almost metaphysical logic.

	Dark Age in Greece
		For example, it describes a kind of helmet made of boar's tusks which is known archaeologically only from the Mycenaean period and was apparently unknown in Homer's time; also the poem mentions only weapons made of bronze, something true of Mycenaean period, but in the later period much use was made of iron.
		Certainly, the presence of speakers of the dialect descended from that of the Mycenaeans in the interior of the Peloponnesus and in Cyprus suggests that they were pushed aside by the Dorians and retained possession only of the less desirable mountainous interiour, but this does not indicate when this happened.
		In Mycenaean times, there was cultural unity (physical remains in all sites are similar), and all signs indicate that everyone spoke a single dialect related to the later Arcado-Cyprian dialect.

	RECENT DISCOVERIES AT ASHKELON
		Although they had long since adopted a Semitic dialect similar to Hebrew, as we know from ostraca (inscribed potsherds) of the late Iron Age found at Ashkelon, it appears that the Philistines retained a sense of their cultural identity throughout their entire history, and even took it with them into their Babylonian exile.
		Moreover, the power and prosperity of the Philistines of Ashkelon was maintained, except for a short period of Israelite domination under David and Solomon, throughout the Iron Age, until the complete destruction of the city by the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar in 604 B.C.--18 years before he did the same to Jerusalem.
		Three years after the inscription was written the wealthy city fell--but only after a long, seven-month siege mounted by the Crusaders under King Baldwin III of Jerusalem, who had to muster all of the forces available to him in order to accomplish the task.
