Summary

Description
English: This image shows the dialects of Old English as they were just prior to the Viking incursions (which altered the speech of the East Midlands and North). Most written works in Old English are in the West Saxon dialect; however, modern standard English descends largely from the Mercian dialect. The modern descendant of the West Saxon dialect can be found in places like Wiltshire, Somerset, and Bristol.

This linguistic map image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.
It is recommended to name the SVG file “Old English Dialects.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
