About this title

From the Publisher:

If there was ever a class on Southern speech, this would be the textbook. This book hit home so hard, we couldn't let it slip by us. No self-respecting Southerner should be without one! Southern Tongue will leave you homesick, with a curious hankerin' for corn bread.
