We say 'the brother' or 'the sister' over here.

Where can we hear G and Ray's London accents? Remember those recorded interviews we did about three years ago? Not sure if they're both there though Nah I don’t. Where are they? Is he all apples and fucking pears?

I could understand bits. Something about shearing sheep, and fucking their sister, who was also their mum, or something.

I'm going to ignore these attempts to derail the thread. It's fascinating piece of footage anyway. I think these kind of impenetrable country dialects are a thing of the past now, although I guess some of the younger guys in the video might still be alive. I remember Billy once sent me a documentary film about this family that lived in the woods in Sussex (just outside Horsham I think). The film was from the early 70s, but they were like something from the 19th century. They made their living fixing bits of machinery, particularly tractors. They were really hard to understand and I found it quite strange that there were people from my lifetime and in my general neck of the woods, who I could barely understand. I'll try and find a clip of the film later. You have something similar where I come from with doric which is a north east dialect. It still exists but not to the same extent with younger people of course. I guess the move away from the country to the cities and general movement of people over the last century+ has changed things forever. It's very sad.

It's the same round these parts, the gruffer local dialect, the real working class Wiganese that my dad and grandad could dip into is dying off. The nasal Manc twang seems to be becoming more prominent, I'm sick of hearing people say things like "it costs twenneh quid", it sounds chavvy.

I understood this well, rural County Durham is similar and I lived in Northumberland for a couple of years. The speech is labelled 'pitmatic / pit yakka' which is describing the tongue of small mining villages where families had moved in from working the land. It's distinguishable from the urban Geordie/mackem though the vowel intonation is similar. The authentic 'burr' sound is rare now.
Cumbria had its own Celtic language I believe, now long since extinct ('Cumbria' and 'Cymru' have the same root).
