AI Summary
This joint resolution urges the Secretary of State to include a discussion about the significance and history of the Appalachian dialect in Section VI of the Tennessee Blue Book, which is an annual publication detailing the State of Tennessee. The resolution emphasizes that the Appalachian dialect, often misunderstood and disparaged, is a legitimate and systematic form of English that reflects the region's history, topography, and influences from early settlers like the Scotch-Irish and Native American languages, as well as its impact on other regions like Texas, and therefore deserves to be appropriately represented and honored.
