英语词汇bonac的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Bonac. Roughly 100 miles from Times Square in New York City, a community of Long Island fishermen called the Bonack- ers speak a dialect that retains the sound of Shakespeare’s England and has rarely, if ever, been recorded in any language book. The Bonackers reside in East Hampton, a town they helped settle in the 17th century. The Bonackers were not among the affluent settlers; they were, in fact, often the ser- vants of the settlers, and at first they built shacks along the Ac- cabonac Creek, which led the richer citizens to disparagingly dub them Bonackers. It is said that up to 1,000 Bonackers live in the Hamptons today, many of them speaking the old English dialect called Bonac that retains much of the vocabulary and the same vowel sounds the original settlers employed. “We speak the King’s English, only we come under an earlier king,” the Bonackers say. Common words used among them are bub, cattywumper (crooked), durst (does not), and finiskind (A-OK). Anyone born outside the eastern end of Long Island is a for- eigner from away. See gullah.
