About Cheapneham English
A language descended from Middle English spoken in some parts of AU Southern England, specifically the counties of Wiltshire and western Oxfordshire. Its modern form originated from important literature written by ____________ (circa 1450), who was of a higher social class and spoke a sociolect with a large amount of lexicon borrowed from Anglo-Norman. Later on, as more people of the lower classes became educated, there was another large influx of words of their sociolect, plenty of which have an early Middle English origin.
