The only place in the USA where four states meet at right angles I went here once on a road trip. It was about 4pm and we'd just driven into Utah from Arizona and aware that Utak can be a little alcohol unfriendly we decided to stop at a motel but it had to fulfil the requirement of haqving a bar or on our way we'd be going. Stopped at a motel, asked the bloke in reception if there was a bar in the town. No Sir, this is a dry county, you'll have to cross the county line if you want to buy alcohol. On we went... 500 yards.... Wait, thats a bar... drive into the car park, yep obligatory Budweiser sign in the window and perfectly a Motel opposite. We went to that bar that night, walked in and yep, the only thing we heard was the click of the pool balls and.... silence. We were being stared at by the entire bar. Walked up to the bar, ordered beers and were treated with some suspicion. Then the bar tender announced to the whole bar, that it was OK, we were Australian. I think we met everyone in the bar that night, we were even introiduced to everyone as they came in. They did learn we were English eventually and we left with a... Shit you guys sure can drink! We beat quite a few of them at pool too What year were you there just out of interest? Also, 4 corners is about the most boring place in the entire US. It's in the middle of nowhere and there is nothing there. (It was in an episode of Breaking Bad though. ) If anyone is ever in the area there a million and one other places worth driving to other than Four Corners, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you have to reach a threshold percentage before it counts and one man and his dog in Cornwall didn't meet it Nah can't be that because they don't have the North East of England speaking Viking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I lived there it was very scarce, but since then it's been spreading, thanks to the efforts of a few of the Cornish native speakers and I think it can even be taught in some schools now, but not to dogs, (yet). I kind of like the idea of these languages continuing to live on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of like the idea of these languages continuing to live on. Me too but I was just postulating as to why it wasn't on the map. When you look at the Welsh ones, it does seem to be the areas with a majority of Welsh Speakers and not the whole country. There are plenty of Welsh Speakers down south and again increasing but not the majority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
