This is the original sentence.

"The English spoken in rural Georgia is very different from that in rural Indiana."

Question1: Can I put "spoken" in front of the second "in" like this?
"The English spoken in rural Georgia is very different from that spoken in rural Indiana."

Question2: Which would be the more common of the two?

Actually, I like your version better than the original.
