My favorite dialect site is http://www.pittsburghese.com

From the front page:
What is Pittsburghese? It's the unofficial language of the Steel City. From
da Sahside to Sliberty, you can find Picksburghers speaking just like this.
Every tahn has its own flavor, and this is just one of ours. So if you are
planning to visit Dahntahn or just catch a Stillers game we suggest you
learn the language of the 'Burgh.

So quit jaggin' around already! Click sumpin!

My dad's side of the family is from Pittsburgh, and I spent a few summers
there as a kid. My family really sounds like the wav files<g>.
