Anglian

In some cases our East Anglian dialect is merely a survival of old English, as when we say ‘axe’ for ‘ask.’

An M.P., who shall be nameless, supplies me with an apt illustration of East Anglian dialect.

As a town, it is more prettily situated than are most East Anglian villages and towns.

In all the East Anglian meeting-houses fifty years ago such men abounded.

There is nothing peculiar, then, in the fact that Beowulf celebrates heroes who were not of Anglian birth.
