Summary
Description Old English Dialects.png |
English:
This image shows the dialects of Old English as they were just prior to the Viking incursions (which altered the speech of the East Midlands and North). Most written works in Old English are in the West Saxon dialect; however, modern standard English descends largely from the Mercian dialect. The modern descendant of the West Saxon dialect can be found in places like Wiltshire, Somerset, and Bristol.
