Uhhhh... is this article ever used by anyone? It looks... very very much too minor to constitute a whole language, much less a page. Isn't this just local slang? 66.102.80.243 18:56, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

The long list of Boontling vocabulary items isn't really appropriate for Wikipedia (especially since it's unsourced!). It should be transwikied to Wiktionary and removed from here. Retaining a small sampling of vocabulary seems like it would be useful to give a sense of the flavor of the language (as long as the sources for that vocabulary are cited), but Wikipedia is not a dictionary, and listing hundreds of items here is unnecessary. -- Miskwito ( talk) 22:34, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
i think you came across just fine..i lived up in that area for 12yrs...mid 80's to etc, and due to all the yuppies and newbies moving into the area to start up vineyards etc, watched/saw/heard Boontling become a dying, forgotten language. For example: that phone booth? i saw it there in the 1980's, but due to microtransmissions, who needs a phone??..it aint no more. Either is that restaurant w/ the sign in the window. Lost...heres your required tildes 76.218.248.127 ( talk) 01:44, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
oh yes..the name OF that restaurant was the 'Horn of Zeese'....ah, i remember it well. 76.218.248.127 ( talk) 02:16, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
Although the meaning is not the same, it seems almost too good to be true to have "skype" in a language 120 years before its time. Are we absolutely sure that that is not a hoax or at best a Boont word made up in recent times to seem like it belongs? ☮ Soap ☮ 02:51, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
Wouldnt be nice if someone...found some old time Boonville folk and asked 'em?? instead of all this speculation?
It's a very seductive idea to think that this is a language. And everyone from Johnny Carson to local residents have no qualms in describing it thus. However, it just ain't so. The phrase "folk language" links to the Dialect page. There a dialect is defined as a variety of a language with its own grammar, vocabulary, and (I repeat "and") pronunciation. Boontling meets only one of these three criteria: it has its own vocabulary. Thus it is not even a dialect, let alone a language. Please stop this nonsense of calling it a "language". It doesn't have a grammar (it uses English grammar) and it is not spoken by native speakers. The idea that there are native speakers of Boontling, again, is quaint and cute but it isn't true. Sorry, to burst everyone's lay linguistic bubble. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davduff ( talk • contribs) 03:02, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
native speakers?...well it existed during a certain time period, spoken by the locals of that time. Seems as they move out or more so, die off, it's being lost, forgotten. Glad to see someone thought enough to put in on the Web.

Both "dukes" and "equalizer"are common North American slang. All the best:
