In Southern and southern West Midland Middle English, Old English y̆ ȳ /y/, /yː/ retained their rounding, while ĕo ēo /eo̯/, /eːo̯/ developed into the mid front rounded vowels /œ/, /øː/. While these vowels were eventually unrounded to /i/, /iː/ and /ɛ/, /eː/ respectively in Late Middle English in a recapitulation of the development that other dialects underwent earlier, the associated spellings u, ui, uy (especially for /y/, /yː/) and eo, eu, oe, ue (especially for (/œ/, /øː/)) are occasionally retained in Modern English due to these dialects’ influence, especially in placenames.
