South Wales grammar at full volume. 'Where' picks up a 'to' on the end — so 'where are you?' becomes 'where you to?' and 'where's your mam?' becomes 'where to is your mam?'. Drops the 'are' entirely. Pure Wenglish, also shared with the West Country across the bridge.
“Oi, where you to? I've been waiting outside Greggs for ten minutes.”
