The Year Clock
| William Barnes held that Dorset dialect was more pure a form of English than that elsewhere since it had no Latin or French words. Far from being the language of rural bumpkins, it was rooted in the countryside and had, as any other unspoiled language, a vocabulary rich in the things important to the working people, in this case agricultural and wildlife. In all probability it is closer to the language of the Anglo-Saxons than anything else understood today.
