Per rbowman:
It beats working class Yorkshire, which
I'm not sure is even modern English.

When I was at a family reunion in Wells, Somerset, UK, I found myself in
the village standing next to two local character types talking in what I
guess was a local dialect.

To cut to the chase, I could not even begin to understand what they were
saying.... And I was *trying*.... and these were my people, so-to-speak.
