		Brythonic dialects, allied to Welsh and Cornish, were apparently spoken over the greater part of Britain, as far north as the firths of Forth and Clyde; beyond these estuaries and in the isles to the west, including Ireland and Man, Goidelic dialects, akin to Irish and Scottish Gaelic, prevailed.

		Brythonic dialects, allied to Welsh and Cornish, were apparently spokeq over the greater part of Britain, as far north as the firths of Forth and Clyde; beyond these estuaries and in the isles to the west, including Ireland and Man, Goidelic dialects, akin to Irish and Scottish Gaelic, prevailed.
		Speaking generally, the Anglian dialects may be distinguished by the absence of certain normal West-Saxon vowel-changes, and the presence of others not found in West-Saxon, and also by a strong tendency to confuse and simplify inflections, in all which points, moreover, Northumbrian tended to deviate more widely than Mercian.
		The origin of the -en plural in the midland dialect, unknown to Old English, is probably an instance of form-levelling, the inflection of the present indicative being assimilated to that of the past, and the present and past subjunctive, in all of which -en was the plural termination.

		The Durham dialect of the _Cursor Mundi_ and the Aberdeen Scotch of Barbour are hardly distinguishable by grammatical or orthographical tests; and both bear a remarkable resemblance to the Yorkshire dialect as found in Hampole.
		But the Midland dialect, which is not without witness to its value in the ninth century, began in the thirteenth to assume an important position, which in the fourteenth became dominant and supreme, exalted as it was by the genius of Chaucer.

		He argues that place-names with the element Strat- developed from Saxon ae as opposed to Anglian e and suggest that, whilst both Angles and Saxons invaded from the Wash, 'the Angles who turned east and settled in East Anglia were intermingled with Saxons and...the latter are behind the OE ae forms' (68).
		Concentrating on two syntactic features, relative markers and the stereotypically East Anglian that anaphora (as in That rained yesterday), she demonstrates that, whilst the latter had disappeared by 1991, the favoured relative marker in 1991 as in the SED sample was still what.
		Poussa argues that the presence of that anaphora in the traditional dialect of Norfolk, which she attributes to the Scandinavian substratum, inhibits the adoption of that as a relative marker.

	English Dialects From the Eighth Century to the Present Day, by Walter W. Skeat (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		According to the New English Dictionary, the oldest sense, in English, of the word dialect was simply “a manner of speaking” or “phraseology,” in accordance with its derivation from the Greek dialectos, a discourse or way of speaking; from the verb dialegesthai, to discourse or converse.
		The investigation of the differences of dialect in our early documents only dates from 1885, owing to the previous impossibility of obtaining access to these oldest texts. Before that date, it so happened that nearly all the manuscripts that had been printed or examined were in one and the same dialect, viz.
		It would not be easy to trace the history of this dialect at a later date, and the task is hardly necessary. It was soon superseded in literary use by the East Midland, with which it had much in common.

		Northumbrian, also known as Ynglis and Inglis, was a dialect of the Old English language spoken in the Anglo-Saxons Kingdom of Northumbria.
		Together with Mercian (Anglo-Saxon) it was one of the two Anglian dialects introduced by the Angles.
		The northern Northumbrian dialect not only retained a lot of the Old English words (replaced in the south by Norse words) but was also a strong influence on the development of the English language in northern England, especially the Geordie dialect.

	Scots language
		The Scots language descends from the northern form of the Anglian dialect brought by the Angles when they settled the east coast of Britain, from East Anglia to the Firth of Forth.
		The growth in Scottish national feeling led to the term 'Inglis' being applied to the language as spoken in England, while the Scots began to call their form of the language Scottis or "Scots." The first known instance of this was by an unknown man in 1494.
		Whether the varieties of Scots are dialects of Scottish English or constitute a separate language in their own right is often disputed.

	Midlands English
		In the East Midlands of England, (Derbyshire, Leicestershire, and Nottinghamshire) a distinctly different dialect of Midlands English is spoken which is often mistaken for the Yorkshire or Tyke dialect, due to similarities with accents in the southern parts of Yorkshire.
		Like that of Yorkshire, the East Midlands dialect owes much of its grammar and vocabulary to nordic influences, the region having been incorporated in the Norse controlled Danelaw in the late 9th century.
		The romantic English novellist, and East Midlander, DH Lawrence wrote in the dialect of the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Coalfield in several dialect poems as well as in his more famous works such as Lady Chatterley's Lover and Sons and Lovers.

		Rick Johnson, of course, though, one must still remember that Chaucer would have used significantly different vowels than East Anglians today would have, considering that his language was definitely pre-Great Vowel Shift, and thus had a vowel system more like that of Scots or that of New Low Saxon than that of Modern English.
		Hence why it may look like "phonetically spelled" modern East Anglian dialects does not mean that it truly sounded like them at all.
		However, what you say does apply better to various dialects in the UK which are further than RP than Estuary is, for example, Scouse.
