they have become obsolete in English, except in some very restricted circles – mostly religious --- and plenty of places in Yorkshire, tha knows. Or is that what you mean by restricted circles?? cf. http://cvc.cervantes.es/obref/coloquio_paris/ponencias/pdf/cvc_wales.pdf
- Thanks again for the care you are giving this - and the link, which is interesting. This time, I'm going to leave it - AWE is about formal writing in academic English, an, tha knows (or, in my own dialect, ye ken) that non-standard forms are frowned on in this discourse. The target audience of AWE includes many with no interest in linguistics; and many non-native writers who may be baffled by digressions into other varieties of English. So this time I will restrain myself from more digression.
