I may be missing the info somewhere in these posts, but where geographically
does Jameld occur?

That was also Tolkien's stamping ground, right? You say no dialect, but you
must surely be aware of a distinctive & very attractive accent (to us at
least). You should hear that same accent transposed onto Afrikaans!

Yrs,

Maybe it's growing up with it, but I never thought of East Midlands,
especially Leicestershire, as a particularly attractive form of English.
I've never heard E. Midlands Afrikaans, but Geordie transposes well,
probably because Geordies heavily dipthongise long vowels; Northumberland
"Nay, Man!" sounds almost exactly like "Nee, Man".
