430. We talk to Katie Carmichael about her dissertation, "The Yat Accent in New Orleans." Katie has studied the local 'yat' accent, both its history and its impact on local culture and humor. Often, the term "Yat" refers particularly to the New Orleans accents that are "strongest" or most especially reminiscent of a working-class New York City accent, though others use the term as a regional marker, to define the speech heard in certain parts of the city and its inner suburbs. Used in these narrower senses, Yat is simply one of many sub-dialects of New Orleans. The word comes from the common use of the local greeting, "Where y'at?" or "Where are you at?", which is a way of asking, "How are you?"
