HYDE TALK - LANGUAGE & LIFE IN HYDE COUNTY (full movie) 

Mom of 5, 4 of which were born and raised in Hyde County, and out of the 5, only one of my children has adapted to the "HyTyder" dialect. I love it, I hope she never loses her Hyde Co accent.

My earliest formative years were spent in Hyde County, and a recent trip through brought all of those memories rushing back when I heard those who live there speaking again. Thank you for posting this small piece of history.

Love this! This area is so unique and a big part of our rich history in North Carolina.

Im descended from the Spencer’s, the Midyettes, and the Gibbs‘s from Hyde county, I wasn’t raised there but my grandfather spent a lot of time there, we travel there together very often, it’s a wonderful place, the people are great, and the air has a wonderful saltiness to it. Hyde county is such a unique place and I‘m so proud to have roots there.

This video takes you back in time when life was slower, when people took time to know one another and helped each other. Life had meaning and hard work was a way of life. There was a closeness that is hard to explain. It existed between blacks and whites, between people and the land and most importantly between man and God. Sometimes I wish I could go back, if for no other reason than to talk and listen to people that I took for granted.

Loved hearing the old accents. My folks came for Mashoes Creek, Mann's Habor and my mother was born in Buffalo City in 1909 - not too far from Hyde County. Thank you for this video!! Sarah Sheep Bullock

One of the finest counties in eastern NC!! About 80 miles from my home in NC,… some of the best wildlife, and hunting in the world!! Great folks…

Thank you for these fascinating teachings!

Erasure of the Mattamuskeet/Machapunga peoples. Interesting how they speak of settlers as if they were some peaceful & loving entity. Settlers were rather insidious and deceitful, full of greed, wanting more and more land, killing us Indigenous peoples and confining us to reservations where we experienced paper genocide and the slow dissolution of our group identity. But we are still here. I am a descendant of those people you erased, the Mattamuskeet tribe 🏹🏹🏹.

I went through Hyde County in the fall of 2008 and stayed at the Fairfield Inn. I loved it. I drove around Lake Mattamuskeet as the sun was going down and a deer ran out and hit my rental car, Just a few scratches and the deer ran off. I always joke that it may have been the reincarnation of Virginia Dare. Thanks for the video.

Lived in Hyde County for six years (Ponzer), and adjacent Tyrrell for fourteen.

Most peaceful and beautiful spot in the world, nothing like it

Even when I was around 5 years old, I always thought my paternal grandmother talked "funny." Well, it turns out that she was from Hyde Co., as was all of my father's side of the family.

What a great place! I have been here once

My grandchildren live in Hyde County and they definitely have a special accent.

Hyde county is good ol country folk

My Grandparents were from Hyde Country they were Gibbs. I still have a cousin that lives in Engelhard. One of my sweetest.!

I noticed the coastal Carolinas basically have the same accent. It’s just a little different twist of words but the black man kinda sounds geechee too.

The narrator sounds like Angela from the office! and they had a shot of scranton lol @4:20

same word in SC Low Country . Tow bag because you tow your stuff in it with you.

nice place..if you are alone and not from there you might as well move to a desert island

Every place seems to have their on dialect or accent our little part of Heaven Southern West Virginia has I guess a hillbilly accent.....we have our troubles and problems like any place but wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.

Highly doubt the natives were "selling" land to move to a reservation. Very informative and fascinating otherwise.

My Mom, Grandmomma and Graddaddy are from the Low Country outside Charleston SC. My GD wasn't a slave but he did speak with a heavy Guhlah accent. I spent every summer surf fishin crabbing, frog giggin, flouder giggin , fishing for cat fish with a cane pole. and eating the freshest sea food and black eyed peas, butter beans, hush puppies ,sausage biscuits, fried chicken, raccoon and corn bread that was ever possible to eat! Only time I ever wore shoes was to go to the Piggly wiggly and Bible School. Grand momma used to get ALL dressed up for the piggly wiggly. I just bought land to build on in Hyde County BECAUSE it's the REAL old South. I grew up in PA , just sold my farm in the mountains and I hope I can be accepted as a convert Yankee!!! My Mom's name IS Dixie so I got half the pedigree. LOL I love these REAL Southern People.

It's funny but locals from Philadelphia sound alot like this ... Must be a Scotts Irish thing.
