3.5 Pronouns.
- The forms of the nominative case are often used instead of the forms of the objective case and vice versa: e.g. Oi don’t think much o’ they (= of them).
Oi went out a-walkin wi’ she (= with her).
Oi giv ut t’ he (= it) back again.
Us (= we) don’t want t’ play wi’ he (= him).
Har (= she) oon’t speak t’ th’ loikes o’ we (= us).
When us (= we) is busy, him (= he) comes and does a day’s work for we (= us).
- The pronoun ‘mun’ (‘min’) is used in those cases, when in the literary language ‘them’ is used: e.g. put mun in the house gie mun to me
I mind (= remember) the first time I seed mun.
- ‘Mun’ is also used instead of ‘him’, ‘it’ e.g. let min alone it would sarve un right if I telled the parson of mun
- Instead of ‘those’, ‘them’ is used: e.g. I mind none of them things.

- The nominative case of the personal pronouns is also used before
‘selves’: e.g. we selves (Somerseshire, Devonshire)

‘thisna’.
- The standard demonstrative pronoun ‘that’ is used in the south- western dialects as: ‘thatn’, ‘thickumy’, ‘thilk’: e.g. I suppose I could have told thee thilk.
