which is only a comparatively short
distance south from here, I have
been much surprised at the almost total
dissimilarity of the words used there
and here. For instance, there, the
word water is Battoo (or Bahtu)
and here it is Nahroo and so on
Even within a radius of a few miles
round about this place, the variations of
dialect are very pronounced.
