Every region has its own particular idioms, words, phrases and pronunciations. If you have ever spoken with a native of Pittsburgh, PA, you will have noted some unique variations on standard English grammar and vocabulary. This quiz gives you a little sampling that you will find in both the North Hills and the South Hills and all around the Three Rivers. I hope you enjoy your grammatical visit to the Steel City.

I grew up in Lawrenceville, but I have never used "yunz." You need to add "gum band," "Mum" and "Eesliberty" to your next quiz. I must have read the question I missed too quickly 8-<
