Description: This image shows the dialects of Middle English around the year 1300. The Mercian dialect has split into East and West Midland dialects, while the Northumbrian dialect has become the Northern dialect in England and Early Scots in Scotland. The English of London developed mainly from the East Midland dialect, with influences from Southern and Kentish dialects as well as Norman French.
