A relatively quiet and rural county. As is usual in England, it s best to avoid the centre of larger towns at night such as Barrow-in-Furness, Workington and Carlisle as they're prone to the regular assortment of drunks and fights.

talk
Isolated by its geography, the inhabitants developed a strong regional accent and language commonly called 'Westmerian' after the former county name of Westmorland. The region's main language was Cumbric CwmbraÃch in Cumbric until about 1100 AD, which was a Brythonic Celtic language very similar to Welsh and, to an extent, Lowland Scots Gaelic GÃ idhealig. Today, Cumbric no longer exists as a spoken language but has been reconstructed in various forms in the past with limited success at taking off. Norse also became a main language after Cumbric, to be eventually replaced by English although Cumbrian English still preserves a large number of Scandanavian words as well as a few Celtic ones.
