Pronunciation. Pittsburgh English. "Pittsburghese" Overview. You may be wondering why you haven't seen the term "Pittsburghese" on this website.
That is because this website is about Pittsburgh speech—how Pittsburghers actually talk. Pittsburghese, on the other hand, is a reflection of how people THINK Pittsburghers talk. If you live in the Pittsburgh area, you are are surrounded by examples of Pittsburghese, on websites, t-shirts, coffee mugs, souvenir shot glasses, and the like, and in newspaper cartoons and humorous stories about Pittsburghers. There are even dolls that say things in Pittsburghese when you squeeze their stomachs. But these examples don't all reflect things that Pittsburghers actually do in their speech, and many of them are things that people do all over the English-speaking world.
