Hey  First, thanks dude for clarifying my question concerning standard German..In the same thread you said that the American south was influenced by Scotland .....Could this maybe be the reason why the beverage of Whiskey is associated with the American south??
Just wondering..
You seem to be keen on this subject and I'm interested.....Thank you
For the record, in case you're wondering, I'm a New Zealander of 100% English heritage.

Well , don't really know . .
All I'm aware of is that the American South was the most 'Scottish' part of the US . .
The southern 'upper-class' , rich salve owners , factory owners , i. e. capitalists were mostly of Scottish origin . .
As for Whiskey , it is mostly associated with the USA today , especially the times of the Old West . .
But of course European settlers from back in Europe brought it with them. .
There is still some kind of controversy though whether it was the Scots or the Irish who invented Whiskey . .
Anyway , the word 'Whiskey' is derived from the Celtic expression 'uisge beatha' , meaning 'water of life' . .
Whiskey is a very popular drink the Celtic influenced world . .
Not too sure about your question about the American south though . .
For the record, isn't this the most famous American Southern beverage ?
It's more of a liqueur . .
Good stuff by the way . .
