Boontling

Boontling is a folk language spoken only in Boonville, California. Although based on English, Boontling's unusual words are completely unique to Boonville. It was invented in the late 1800s and had quite a following at the turn of the century. Now it is only spoken by aging hippies and original residents. Because the town of Boonville only has a little over 700 residents, Boontling is an extremely esoteric, and quickly becoming archaic, language that has over a thousand unique words and phrases.
