I frequently speak to agricultural workers here in North Hertfordshire. For reference, it's June 2022. Almost all of the older generation, that is 65 years old and older sound very East Anglian. They're a fairly isolated group and tend to work alone and socialising usually takes place in the nearest pub or village hall. The word cow is pronounced ceow. Fascinating to listen to them, it's like a relic dialect.

my older family members from Bedfordshire had delightful, very regional rural accents, my dad was a scholarship boy and spoke recieved pronunciation on account of going to Public school and we had eloquotion lessons so I never spoke with that delightful accent.

Charlie Haylock is a legend. What a master of knowledge! Loved listening to him. As a new resident of the North Folk, can't wait to discover more aboot East Anglia and its heritage.

Thankyou for a very interesting history lesson. We are in charge of a very old dialect, long may it last.

What a brilliant piece of work. I have always been fascinated by accents and dialects. I am lucky to be old enough to have been brought up in rural Sussex listening to the Sussex dialect, sadly becoming a thing of the past. One of my most treasured possessions is my copy of "A Dictionary of the Sussex Dialect" by Rev. W. D. Parish, this recording brings it to life and also explains why I say words like I do. My Sussex accent plus my wife's West Yorkshire accent equals two sons who sound like they could work for the B.B.C. 😕

Utterly brilliant ,really good listen

As the product of a Norfolk mother and Suffolk father, I love to hear about the origins of the East Anglian accent. I now live in Germany and see so many links between the two languages, including phrases like « Come you here » etc. Thank you for recording this and posting it on KZread.

Excellent work. My passion and interest in English early history runs deep as clearly yours does too. A big thank you from Suth Seaxa lond.

Thank you for listening!

I realy enjoyed this. Sir names in my English family ( i have part Scottish ancestry) are Browning ( that will be Norman ) Beedle ( from North Yorkshire) Huckle , Wootton, Readman, Cleasby ( Breton dukes who arrived in Richmond with the Normans) Emery, Pitts and many more i have got so into studying their roots. I love Charlie's accent it reminds me sometimes of my Bedrordian family who were country folk.

I heard a lot of words we, the frisians, still have in modern words.🤔🤔🤔
