West Country English is a group of varieties and accents of the English language spoken by the native population of South West England, including the Cornish dialect and the Devon dialect. The Cornish dialect is spoken in Cornwall by Cornish people and is influenced by the Cornish language, of Celtic origins.
Unlike standard English, which derives from the Old English Mercian dialects, the West Country dialects have their roots in the West Saxon dialect. Their origins are in the expansion of Anglo-Saxons into the west of England. The Cornish dialect, spoken in Cornwall, has the most substantial Celtic language influence. There is also influence from the Welsh language depending on the specific location.
West Country English is a group of varieties and accents of the English language spoken by the native population of South West England, popularly known as the West Country. Even though their limits are loosely defined, West Country often includes the counties of Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Somerset and Bristol, and sometimes is extended to include Wiltshire and Gloucestershire.
West Country English groups together different varieties and accents of the English language, including the Cornish dialect. But there are a variety of accents found within the Cornwall dialect itself. Typically, the accent is more divergent from Standard British English further west through Cornwall.
Unlike most accents of British English, West Cornwall Devon voice overs are noticeable because their speakers pronounce the "r" sound before a consonant and at the end of a word, like American and Irish accents. Another characteristic of the West Country speech is the omission of the "h" sound at the beginning of words so that "hair" often sounds like "air." The word-final letter "y" is pronounced with an "ei" sound, so "party" sounds more like "partei".
