I did mean the latter.
What sort of grammar would that be, exactly? I agree. Incredibly interesting.
Apologies for the delay, but Somerset and surrounding areas has (historically, at least) sorta-retained conjugated uses of "to be" instead of plugging in uses of "are" for third-person pronouns, retention of a second-person informal pronoun "(th)'ee", and retained use of certain Late West Saxon words (consistent conjugation of "wend" instead of "go", "wapse" instead of wasp, "acks" instead of ask, all of which are truer to Old English). It makes for some interesting implications from a linguistic POV.
