Boontling Boontling is a jargon〔http://languagesoftheworld.info/the-americas/language-dialect-or-jargon.html〕 spoken only in Boonville in Northern California. Today it is nearly extinct, and less than 100 people still speak it.〔(Stina Sieg, "Do You Harp A Slib Of The Ling? One Small Town's Opaque Language" at ''NPR.org'', 17 January 2015 )〕 ==History and description== Although based on English, Boontling's unusual words are unique to Boonville, California. Scottish Gaelic and Irish, and some Pomoan and Spanish, also contributed words to this jargon.〔Haddock, Vicki. ("Hamlet's Dying Lingo" ) in ''San Francisco Chronicle'', February 5, 2001.〕 Boontling was invented in the late 19th century and had quite a following at the turn of the 20th century. It is now mostly spoken only by aging counter-culturists and native Anderson Valley residents. Because the town of Boonville only has a little over 700 residents, Boontling is an extremely esoteric jargon, and is quickly becoming archaic. It has over a thousand unique words and phrases.
