What regionalism would you like ...

Explanation:
... An equivalent from the Appalachians, say, or from deepest, darkest Derbyshire, something quaint from north of the border, or something with a lilt from the Emerald Isle? Whatever, you're asking a bit much, I think. Leave it in French. You have the explanation in parentheses, and that's what matters.
