Hmm... maybe West Coast of Jutland, then. That's where those Jutes who joined the Angles and Saxons supposedly came from. They're still around, of course. Practically a different language and it's dying out, but I wasn't untill a few years ago, I wondered why West Jutes have that... dunno the technical term, but let's call it "tonal swing" that for example, American English has.Speaker to Animals wrote:Denmark is genetically pretty close to us, and Saxony is still part of Germany, which might be overrun beyond salvage. We should start with Denmark.

Heard it said that the deeper tone of the American accent actually derives from the fact that that's what 17th and 18th cent British English sounded like.
And Western Jutland is quite sparsely populated. Also generally more religious than the rest of the country.
