Críostóir,
Unfortunately I don't remember very much, I was only 7 when I last saw her,
when our family moved to New Zealand.  I think she was from the
Ratcliff-on-Soar or Gotham area way back, but moved to Leicester when quite
young.  But she always used the Nottinghamshire pronunciation of "buzz" for
bus, and a chimney was always a "chimley".  Neither usage seems common in
Nottingham these days, though her other habit of pronouncing words like old,
cold, bold etc. as "ode", "code" and "bode" persists here even among young
people.  She never used the Northern clipped definite article ("Trouble at
t'mill"), which in Nottinghamshire only seems to appear around Mansfield,
well north of Nottingham city.

Paul

We leren dat het Fries bestaat, als kleine taal in het Noorden van
Nederland, dat is het zowat.
Over de Duitse Friezen weet ik alleen iets uit boeken.
Een lerares Geschiedenis in het 3de dorst zelfs eens beweren dat de Friezen
niet Indo-Europees waren maar verwant aan de Finnen!
