Pittsburghese - It's A Burgh Thing 

The earliest English-speaking immigrants to North America brought their native English dialects with them.  These people were Quakers, Germans and largely “Scotch-Irish" and many locals refer to the way they speak as "Pittsburghese" and speak it proudly.  Linguists still have a lot to learn about the dialects of southwestern Pa.  Like other aspects of local heritage, we think “Pittsburghese” is worth understanding and preserving.  Speakers of Pittsburgh English are sometimes called "Yinzers".
