The third episode of an occasional series: anecdotal conversations with ordinary people of the West Country - in particular, Devon and Somerset.
The purpose of the series is to record and preserve their regional dialect, which is changing and softening over time, and gradually disappearing as the older generation passes away.

Thank you for putting this video up. As you say, the old dialects are dying out and it's a joy to hear them

Sadly, my relative Richard Rice passed away today, November 3rd, 2023. I'll be adding more clips of him telling up a yarn in future episodes of West Country Yap.

I'm 26 and I'm so thankful I still have my Devonshire accent

These videos make me miss my grandad. Proper Dorset accent he had, picked it up from him.

I'm American, and have ancestors from all over the island as well as Ireland, and my dad's side has many folks from Yorkshire who originate from the south west, Devon and Cornwall. I really appreciate the documenting of the dialects as well as those out there preserving Cornish culture. 😀👍

Born and raised in western ny. 500 miles from NYC. I have no trouble understanding them speak. They sound more american than British.

the local dialects were so vairious... when i was a lad i could tell a topsham accent from an exeter accent. not really anymore. really enjoying these films. thank you

@MrTrotty57 2 года назад

And Glastonbury was different to Street, apparently. Everything is becoming homogenised. Glad you like the project - more in the pipeline!

@user-td4do3op2d Год назад

It's similar in the North. Somehow people in Cumbria have completely lost their dialect and sound like they're from Yorkshire!

Ahhhh, so nice to see more footage of Marcus and Bill! I'm from North-East Somerset and the way they talk reminds me a lot of many family members, sadly passed away now. Some of them are still knocking around, but you're right, the accents are changing dramatically. Thank you for the work you do in archiving these wonderful accents and fantastic stories!

@MrTrotty57 10 месяцев назад

Glad you enjoy them. Part four was uploaded recently. There will be more of Bill and Marcus in future episodes. West Country Yap part 4: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d1pSpeVetQs.html

@@MrTrotty57 Yeah I saw part four hahah, and commented that I think Lighter needs his own feature length. 😂 Also turns out that my sister has met Wilkins. Small world I guess (well, if you live in Somerset). 😅 Very much looking forward to the Naish film, I've already shared the mini-documentary with my family. It was really beautifully done.

@Janewomanpower 2 месяца назад

Dear Mr. Trotty, Do you know of any accents where you drop the H and Pick them up. for example. We pronounce House like Ouse and Apple was H'apple. hope this helps.

@hannahelizabeth4415 2 месяца назад

Do you have any more clips of Stan Turner? I've watched all of the videos and can't find any more of him. Would be really interested if you do have any :)

@MrTrotty57 2 месяца назад

Yes, I do have more clips of Stan. Any reason for wanting to seem more of Stan in particular? I'm sure I will add some in for one the next episodes.

@hannahelizabeth4415 2 месяца назад

@@MrTrotty57 I'm doing a project for my linguistics degree comparing West Country accents. Most of the project is based on recordings I collected myself from speakers in the Forest of Dean but your recordings were the best I could find of Somerset speakers for comparison and I was hoping to look at Stan's accent more closely as part of the project :)
