That being said, when I moved north to Green Bay, from the Milwaukee area in southern Wisconsin, I noticed that there were a lot more Yoopers, who do speak much like you did in the video! They also had words and expressions that baffled me! "enso?" LOL That one had to be explained to me! I also LOVED the Rick Steves impression!! Spot on!!

Historically, a lot of Dutch and German immigrants settled in the U.P. and surrounding areas, which gave rise to the distinctive accent (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yooper_dialect). I have a lot of family who live in the northern lower peninsula and even they have a light Yooper accent - it's pretty fun to listen to. Anyway, highly entertaining video!!Kristiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15481226315381255555noreply@blogger.com
