By PARRY. Privately printed. Vide p. 24 of Mr J. R. Smith's Bibliographical List, 1839. WALES. In those parts of Wales where Welsh is most spoken, the children who learn English doubtless acquire it in a form free from dialectal peculiarities. But in other parts, especially of South Wales, the English spoken is marked by local characteristics. These are not, perhaps, very strongly exhibited; but there seem to be grounds for believing that the English of Gower (in Glamorganshire) and of Pembrokeshire resembles that of Somersetshire. The following short list is as long as I can make it.—W. W. S. Caermarthenshire.-A list of Words in use here has been coutributed, in MS., by Mr Spurrell. Glamorganshire.-A list of Words from the Gower dialect of Glamorganshire. By the Rev. J. COLLINS. Printed in the Philological Society's Transactions, 1849-50, pp. 222, 223. Montgomeryshire.—Archaic Words, Phrases, etc., of Montgomeryshire. By the Rev. ELIAS OWEN. In a series of articles contributed to the Collections Historical and Archæological relating to Montgomeryshire. Issued by the Powys-land Club for the use of its members.' The first article appeared in vol. iv, at p. 49, the fifth in vol. vii, at p. 117; and they are to be continued. Pembrokeshire.-A few specimens of local expressions in use in Pembrokeshire have been kindly communicated, in MS., to the E. D. S. ISLE OF MAN. The Manx Language: its Grammar, Literature, and Present State. By HENRY JENNER, Esq. In the Transactions of the Philological Society, 1875-6, pp. 172–197. This essay contains a list of publications in the Manx language, and is accompanied by a map shewing the districts in which Manx is most spoken. Mr Jenner says-The English spoken by those to whom it is the native tongue is good, and, as may be imagined, is proper modern English, and not a provincial dialect derived independently from Old English. There is, however, a tendency towards Scotticisms.' |
