There is a considerable variation in the English language as spoken by the branches of the Anglo-Saxon. The English people differ from the American people in the use of the common speech not only in their characteristic mode of pronunciation and orthography, but also in no less striking a manner in the use of certain idioms and household phrases, which constitute the small change of our every-day speech. Notable eccentricities are to be observed in the English mode of pronouncing many proper names such as Derby, pronounced 'darby'; Berkeley, pronounced 'barclay'; Magdalen, pronounced 'maudlin '; Marylebone, pronounced 'merrybone'; Marlborough, pronounced ' mobrer '; Albany, pronounced so that the first syllable rhymes with Al- in Alfred, etc..
