Questions

Q: We don't use this word in my hometown.

A: Dialects vary by area (e.g., north vs. south) and include many words

that have fallen out of use or are no longer spoken today.

While there may be errors on my part,

please look up any words that interest you.

Q: Where did you research this?

A: I searched using Wikipedia as a baseline

and selected sources that seemed reasonably reliable.

For words with limited search results,

I verified their inclusion in dialect dictionaries.
