Survey of Yorkshire Dialect Sites

A very useful comprehensive survey and review of Yorkshire Dialect sites.

web-site

 

Northern Accents on't Net

A British Library web-site. Sound samples of speakers throughout the North Country recorded by Leeds University in the 1950s and by the BBC in the 1998/1999

 

Yorkshire Dialect Site

This is a comprehensive site full of historical detail. Sound samples of dialects spoken in Yorkshire and an informative discussion of the differences between the North and East Ridings on one side and the West Riding on the other. All this and much much more. An essential visit for anyone interested in the dialects of England's biggest county.

 

Pooly Werds

Hartlepool shares most of its dialect words with the rest of the wider Tees-side area. However it does seem also to have one or two of its own. Alf Sterling has created a fun site of Pooly-werds,expressions and peculiarities of Pooly pronunciation.
The Objects of the Society are the maintaining and increasing of interest in Lancashire Dialect.
