"The traditional Black Country dialect preserves many archaic traits of Early Modern English and even Middle English."
"Middle English developed out of Late Old English in Norman England (1066–1154) and was spoken throughout the Plantagenet era (1154–1485)."

When i went to school the middle ages was from 5th to 15th century. Unless thats changed then perhaps cazzz1975 isnt so wrong ?
