West Country English is a group of English language varieties and accents used by much of the native population of South West England, the area sometimes popularly known as the West Country. The West Country is often defined as encompassing the counties of Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Somerset, Wiltshire, the City of Bristol, and Gloucestershire. However, the northern and eastern boundaries of the area are hard to define. In the adjacent counties of Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Berkshire, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight and Oxfordshire it is possible to encounter similar accents and, indeed, much the same distinct dialect but with some similarities to others in neighbouring regions. Although natives of such locations, especially in rural parts, can still have West Country influences in their sp

  • L'Anglais du West Country est la variété linguistique du West Country. Son accent diffère de l'anglais britannique standard par un rhotacisme élevé, des diphtongaisons aigües et d'autres aspects comme l'élision du h initial ou du t final. Il partage des similarités avec d'autres accents à travers le sud de l'Angleterre (comme le Cockney) ou encore l'accent irlandais. Il est historiquement lié au côtoiement et à l'interaction de deux aires linguistiques : le cornouaillais et le vieux saxon. (fr)

  • Английский язык Уэст-Кантри — диалекты английского языка и акценты, на которых говорит по большей части коренное население региона Юго-Западной Англии, известного как Уэст-Кантри. Уэст-Кантри, строго говоря, охватывает графства Корнуолл, Девон, Дорсет, Сомерсет, Уилтшир, хотя иногда включены Глостершир, Херефордшир и Вустершир. Тем не менее, северные и восточные границы области трудно определить. Лингвистически и исторически также должны быть включены Хэмпшир и Остров Уайт. (ru)
