Breaking down "いんや, まだずらよ"?


I understand that `いんや, まだずらよ` means something along the lines of "No, not
yet". At least, in the context I'm seeing it in (the question "Has Person A
arrived yet?"). However, I'm having difficultly understanding how the parts of
this give this meaning.

`まだ` I can see as being "Still"/"Yet". And the `よ` is surely just adding
emphasis. But where are the `いんや` and `ずら` parts coming from? Do they have
meaning on their own and how does that meaning come together to create the
full sentence meaning above? Thanks!




「いんや」 is an emphatic form of 「いや」 meaning "no". 「いや」 is already an informal
form of 「いいえ」. I explained this 「ん」
[here](https://i2.wp.com/shiritaiwadai.com/wp-

「ずら」 is a [dictionary
word](https://kotobank.jp/word/%E3%81%9A%E3%82%89-543774#E5.A4.A7.E8.BE.9E.E6.9E.97.20.E7.AC.AC.E4.B8.89.E7.89.88)
meaning 「だろう」. Currently, it is used mainly around Nagano and Shizuoka.

> "Nope, not yet, I'd say."

Obviously, I do not know of the whole context these words appeared in, but it
might be used as "role language" to indicate that the speaker is from the
country side rather than as part of a real dialect.

Role language is extremely common in Japanese fiction and it is often
incorrectly explained here as actual dialectal words and expressions from a
particular area when the author's intention is just making a character sound
"country" and/or old.

"Would that be O.K. legally?", says this character.
