 * Hello, The reason I edited that is because in newer studies by William Labov, he  goes on to state that the Northern dialects are getting stronger and becoming more Northern sounding. And that dialect levering was not happening in this region, unlike the South. You can see where he talks about this here in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCJh8nFXBUE&feature=youtu.be&t=1h4m13s and in his book Atlas Of Northern American English. The map on his website places Western New England in a part of the Northern section which can be seen from here http://www.atlas.mouton-content.com/secure/generalmodules/anae/unit0031/genunstart.html. This is all much newer information than the others sources. Polos94 (talk) 01:32, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I mistyped the youtube URL orignally. But Western New England is NOT leveling according to Labov, which fits under the "Northern" umbrella, as shown on his website. Polos94 (talk) 01:45, 31 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Thank you Polos--but please put this on the talk page. It's not so much for me as it is for the rest of the linguists. Also, you are indicating change--that doesn't make the old information obsolete; it asks for historical context. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 02:18, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
