Thanks! Reminds me of Scots pronunciation.
Speaking of it, one of the most annoying thing that happens with Burns'
poems for example is people pronouncing them using southern accents
which ruins the rhymes, the puns, the general sound and character of
the poem. A good example is Burns rhyming 'Agley' with 'Joy' in the
famous stanza from to a mouse.
"... The best laid schemes o' Mice an' Men
Gang aft agley,
An' lea'e us nought but grief an' pain,
For promis'd joy!"
Where Joy is pronounced more like 'Jey'
and 'Pain' more like 'Pen', yet most still
pronounce it in the southern standard
thus ruining the wonderful rhythm.
The same things can happen with early modern english as well, thus OP
is important. And that's just a phonemic argument, you also need to
preserve the language or dialect phonetically as to not ruin the
natural 'flow' to it (Scottish rolling R is a good example, forgoing it
just messes up the whole 'quality' of the tongue in my opinion).
