Pop Web site in new window   Old English Pages
‘Tis quite troublesome to try and translate the vowel-happy prose of Olde English. Hence, we welcome the expertise of a practical directory to this language of yore. From Beowulf to medieval manuscripts and Chaucer poetry, it’s e’er more understandable here.
 
Pop Web site in new window   Geordie Pride: A Dictionary
So what's "Geordie"? This dictionary gives a brief description and provides lots of great Cockney words that will make you long for Ms. Doolittle.
 
Pop Web site in new window   Middle English Compendium
Just yesterday we were wishing we had a hyper-bibliography of Middle English on hand and poof! Here it is! Includes a searchable dictionary, complete Corpus of prose and verse, and links. Dreams do come true.
 
Pop Web site in new window   Proper Elizabethan Accents
Proper Elizabethan is spoken similarly to the lockjawed New England accent. Get a lesson in classy conversation with audio files, grammar, vocabulary, songs--even Elizabethan insults. You should hear our flawless inflection when we say: “Thou artless fly-bitten barnacle.”
 
Pop Web site in new window   History of the English Language
Need a break from the MTV? Subscribe to the discussion list of the history of English. Sort through thread archives on Old Norse, Anglo Saxon texts, and Middle English. You thought Puff Daddy busted all those chillin’ rhymes himself?
 
Pop Web site in new window   The Norfolk Dialect
Have you noticed how most Brit sentences end as a question? Uncanny, isn’t it? The Norfolk dialect shan’t surprise you with its upward lilt then, should it? Check out pronunciation files and grammatical breakdowns of yet another English dialect, alright?
