East Anglian English is a dialect of English spoken in East Anglia. This easternmost area of England was probably home to the first-ever form of language which can be called English. East Anglian English has had a very considerable input into the formation of Standard English, and contributed importantly to the development of American English and (to a lesser extent) Southern Hemisphere Englishescitation needed; it has also experienced multilingualism on a remarkable scale. However, it has received little attention from linguistic scholars over the years.
