The question "Hayna or no?" is derived ultimately from the valid question "Is it or is it not?" This phrase's devolution is illustrated in the flow chart below: "Is it or is it not?" --> "Is it not or is it?" (Still [grammatically] acceptable) --> "Isn't it or no?" (Note the [introduction] of the double negative) --> "Ain't it or no?" --> "Ain'ta or no?" (Note the reduction in phrase length) --> "Hayna or no?" (Note the utter disregard for even most basic [grammatical] integrity, with the addition of the imaginary 'h' and the further phrase length reduction) The final form, "Hayna or no?" is typically used rhetorically and is most often found in north-eastern Pennsylvania, particularly in the cities of Scranton and Wilkes-Barre.
