The Dorset dialect is the traditional dialect spoken in Dorset, a county in the West Country of England. Stemming from Old West Saxon, it is preserved in the isolated Blackmore Vale, despite it somewhat falling into disuse throughout the earlier part of the 20th century, when the arrival of the railways brought the customs and language of other parts of the country and in particular, London.[1][2] The rural dialect is still spoken in some villages however and is kept alive in the poems of William Barnes and Robert Young.[1][3][4]
