The Moors (Great Nuclear War)

The Moors is a region of former Massachusetts. While not having common governance, the region has a shared culture and customs, and speaks a unique dialect of English

Culture
The Moors inherit their common culture from the large amount of Irish immigrants, and the unique culture of Boston. While ideas and quirks of the Moors are not entirely unique, they are certainly worthy of note

Language
Since the Great Nuclear War, the Moors have been separated from the rest of the world, as such the Boston/Massachusetts dialect has evolved into a separate version of English known locally as Moorish.

Many influences from Kitchen Irish and some local ethnic minorities are evident in the lexicon and phonetics. An example of this new language is below (with translation):
