Re: USAGE: Language revival

AFM Ideolect:
I'm a bit hazy on the vowels, but I think I've about nailed 'em down, based on
other peoples examples
The vowel in "often" different to the vowel in "forehead", I think.  The vowel
in "tortoise" and "forehead" is closer to the vowel in "caught", the vowel in
"often" is nearer to the vowel in "hot".

/tO:t@sIz/
/Oft@n/ in careful speech, /Ofn=/ (or maybe /Of@n/) in colloquial
/fO:hEd/ in careful speech, /'fOrId/ in colloquial (it does get me a few funny
looks!)
/vInjA:d/ (? I think, if /A:/ is the same vowel as I use in "ask" and at the
start of "garden")
/weIsk@Ut/
/t3:kwOIs/
/b&dmIn?n=/ in extreme cases /b&d_?mI?n=/ ?
/mVndi/
/t_SjU:sdi/ !?
/wEnzdi/
/T3:zdi/
/frajdi/
/s&t@_rdi/ (in colloqiual usage, this can become /s&?di/)
/sVndi/

ISTR that And (& Lars?) said something about my home town (Milton Keynes) being
a dialectical melting pot, which may explain what looks like a mix of old and
new forms.


Just my (badly-notated) 2 denarii
