This may be a little off track, but I get the same feeling when I hear someone speak in an accent that is near the tri-state area of Tennesse, Kentucky, and West Virginia. I have a lot of family there (I'm in SC) and when I hear that very distinctive twang, I know immediately where the speaker is from. It's such a wonderful feeling to experience. I can only imagine what it's like to hear a different language and being taken back to another time in your life.
