I know that these don't count as languages, but they are also in danger of disappearing.
If anybody is interested in this aspect, I can recommend two sites:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/devon/voices2005/index.shtml
and less academic, but very amusing (and frighteningly accurate)
http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~gunning/wurzpeak.html
one or two examples from the second site:
'Ee Normally thee (=you); or he, depending on context, e.g. Hark at 'ee, Jacko; Don't tell I, tell 'ee
'M Depending on context, means either am, him, or them. Am is used instead of are, e.g. We'm, They'm. 'M or 'Em is used instead of him or they, e.g. don'm = doesn't he or don't they. Sort o' confusin', en'm?! |

By the way, I've found an interesting website about the different accents in English, even by non-English people:
http://accent.gmu.edu/browse.php
You can find the same sentence repeated by people from all around the world and see the exact IPA (International Phonetical Alphabet) transcription with informations about the speaker. You can also send your own recording to the website.
It doesn't tell you how to pronounce in each dialect, but it gives you an idea of. |
