A lot of the regions of the UK have pretty strong dialects of English, not just accents e.g. the Doric Scots of my birth uses "fa", "fit", "faur" and "fan" for "who", "what", "where" and "when"

e.g. "far div ye bide" -> "where do you live"

However, I haven't spoken like that much since I was a wee loonie.
