Roland and Brant Sanders remember some of the good old Devon characters that used to live in the village, and keep the Devon dialect alive

My brother grew up in South Devon in the fifties. As a young adult he moved to Finland and learnt Swedish. When mum died, he returned to England and spoke English with a Swedish accent. After a week his old Devon accent returned, it was very strong and he sounded like a wurzel.

What does Wurzel mean? Wurzel sounds like a german word for 'root'.

@@M1NDCR4WL3R It is British slang for a bumpkin ie someone uneducated from the countryside. It might derive from Mangelworzel, so yes, the same root (pun intended) as the German word.

I had a polish friend who grew up mostly in Devon. The mix of his Polish accent with his Devon accent sounded brummie.😊

Dialects actually make a language richer. It would be nice if the English dialects were taught in schools.

@bethanyfowler8573 They seem to be more dense than scones, and they have them with gravy and savoury dishes.I was interested when I saw the same ones as made in the US being made in Devon and them being called biscuits and a Devon thing.

@@bethanyfowler8573 My grandparents were from Devon and I think it’s an older thing,this woman was making what she called biscuits to have with a savoury meal ,thick white scone like things,the same as US ones.Mind you it makes sense as you get scones from Devon and they are all a bit similar.
