I heard that Black Country was. Yam yams apparently speak the closest approximation of Chaucerian English there remains today.

And as somebody is bound to ask, a yam yam is somebody from the Black Country region of the English midlands. They don't say 'you are', they say 'you am', the contraction being 'yam'.

The black country might be the oldest form of England type english (work with me on this), but Scottish dates back further, just to a diffrent strain of English. . .you get me?

I think it is called Inglish, or Inglisch, if I'm not mistaken.
