I sent Jeff a note about whether there were any other regional languages
like "boontling" and he replied that it sounded like a good question for
the net; he didn't know of any others. Unfortunately, I couldn't reply
to his note from my home host, where mail has been variable in utility
lately, so now that I'm over here, I'll just post the inquiry anyway.

Is "boontling" unique, or are there other regional languages like it?
(I would think the difficulty here comes in the definition. "Boontling"
is something other than a dialect or jargon, but I hesitate to define is
rigorously as a "language", though we have been using that term for
convenience.)

(Post, don't mail, responses, please.)
