Northern New Mexico dialects
I occasionally post about the kinds of accents and grammar I get to hear in New Mexico. If anyone wants an example, there's a Real Audio show at . Frank Tollardo has a classic N.M. Hispanic accent; Phil Perea sounds Indian to me, but I'm not sure. The conversation is entirely in English.
Here's the subject of the show:
"Phil Perea and Frank Tollardo of Taos share an unusual bond. In July 2003, Frank Tollardo's 22-year old son, Eric, and two others (Nathaniel Maestas, 14, and Alfredo Rael, 23) were shot to death. Phil Perea's son, Jason, 26, was convicted of the murders and sentenced to
41 years in prison. Instead of polarizing themselves, the two fathers,Perea and Tollardo, are working together to help Taos youth out of the cycle of violence. By promoting a trade school to offer an alternative to gangs, the two men are trying to improve conditions in their home town."
