Old Westlandic

The Wessen Dialect sometimes wrongly referred to as 'Wessen English' is a dialect of the British English Language specific to the Kingdom of Wessex. Evolved over the years from the West Country Dialect, Somerset Dialect, Bristolian Dialect and the Cornish Dialect. The Dialect is mostly universal throughout Wessex due to almagation of several dialects from the region. The Wessen Dialect is often associated with farmers, as the county of Somerset is a major centre of agriculture and the dialect.
