@taiwan_girl West-Flemish (a Dutch dialect in Belgium).
Example: 'And ic spraeke...' is identical to 'En ik spreke...'.

@jon-nyc Believe it or not, this almost sounds like the dialect I used to speak with my parents.

Last december in Ruznda I was offered seven snow leopards, twinty cows and fifty goats for my daughter. I declined because I don't have enough stables
But the guy who made the offer was pretty serious about the matter. Took some time to talk it out of his mind.
