Maybe Bushler (cause ain't Noyo at Fort Bragg?) knows about this...I lived in a few miles from Mendocino for 2 years and a friend there's grandad had taught him Boontley (sp?). Now ther's some hard core localized dialect. Very interesting
From what I gather, there was a spurt of settlers who bolted all the way west, and then waited, isolated, for a few decades till the rest started showing up. And the language evolved.
It's called "Boontling". Google Boonville, California.
The people there developed their own patois and there's nothing like it anywhere.
