Nope! but I get the idea from the titles.
When the iphone 4 came out. BBC news sent a recording team to Aberdeen
to check it out. In the clip below the policeman whose voice it
recognised was from Dundee. A very different accent from the Aberdeen Doric.

It's a comedy sketch. I don't think you get the idea without watching
it...

Fine, you can remove it now. Funnily enough I did get the idea from the
title.

I'm still with Warp on this one, tho. I want to know how they know this is
what it sounded like. :-) How does someone know what a language sounded
like when nobody still speaks it?

On a related note, there are some who doubt a virtuoso pianist of the
19th century such as Liszt were all the good (despite the account from
other composers that he would play difficult concerto pieces on first
sight) because there was no recording.
I've also heard some jazz guys suggesting Bach's music was played more
relaxed back them, rhythm-wise. Which is too say, it'd sound quite a
lot like jazz, rather than with its characteristic rhythmic sameness
found in recordings.
Forgetting the past and then reimagining it has led to many works of
fiction as well. The greek forgot their past mycennean civilization and
came up with the Illiad to explain the many wars in oral legends and The
ages of man to explain the bronze obssession of the previous bronze age
civiliations.
I wonder how future civilizations will reimagine our dark digital age.

Actually, from some of what I have read there was, until fairly
recently, a "High German" and "Low German". The low version was very
close to English, enough that it was fairly understandable.
