and the Goblet of Fire and I believe that the author, JK Rowling has made an excellent use of language in this very famous novel of hers. Different characters' speech patterns reveal their levels of education. Wizards speak in proper English, and Hagrid, who is half-giant and not fully educated, drops his H's and slurs his words together a bit sloppily.

Tony uses his language to express his identity openly and without question. He lets everyone know…

The Appalachian English (AE) dialect has changed over time. AE developed in the 1700s when Scottish-Irish immigrants settled in the cheap, mountainous territory that makes up the Appalachian Mountains. Isolated from the outside world for centuries, the Appalachian people spoke a distinct dialect that became known as AE.
