Druggies in Yorkshire have taken to using dental syringes to inject ecstasy directly into their mouths.

This dangerous practice is known as 'E by gum'...

Now then is tha lahykin again us by t'way we speak? Ah'll tell thee this, in-t' other countries of't Europe, Yorkshire accent'd be classed as language on it'sehn.

And actually, there's some truth in that crazy statement. There isn't that much difference between Spanish and Catalan, and it's only perhaps a matter of time until "Scots" is recognised as a language in itself.

Anyone ever noticed how some lyrics in Arctic Monkeys songs just for one example contain Yorkshire dialect which isn't used outside the west riding. Wondered if this has ever confused anyone abroad trying to listen to the actual lyrics

isnt yorkshire old viking language ?

[grahamw48]

Sadly a lot of dialects seem to be dying out though.

I grew up in Pontefract and back in those days it really was the norm for the locals to speak not just with the local accent...which still exists, but with the very localised dialect too.

When I'm working in that area now, there seems to be much less of this spoken.

This post really caught me, Graham.
In my village we all had a unique accent. It was so easy for all around to know which village we came from.
I've been living here now for 5 years, the only time I recognise the 'old dialect' is when I hear one of my school friends from over 50 years ago speaking.
There's no many of them left either :rolleyes:

There's a strong Viking history in the Isle of Man and in Scotland too. And of course on the east coast of England including Yorkshire. I was in the Jorvik museum in York the other week talking to one of the chaps there trying to get my head around the whys and wherefores of the variety of places that they they settled in.

But anyhow. Are some of the words the same - gaelic language and Yorkshire dialect (s)?

Is it true in Yorkshire that "tin tin tin" means it isn't in the tin ?

(sorry).

[grahamw48]

No, cos you missed a 't' out.....the most important one. :D

[grahamw48]

Your first lesson in 'Yorkshire'.

Repeat ten times...

tint int tin .:)

:Erm: i believe its called Gaelic :D

Well there's that, from what I understand something spoken only by old people in the Western Isles, but due to political attempts to revive it, kids are being forced to spend years at school learning it (Or is this one of those "must not says"), or am I wrong there?

But then (or so I'm told) there is "Scots", which unlike Gaelic is a living language - but is officially still classed as dialect - and is spoken by a majority of Scottish.

Or put another way, think Robert Burns?

Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,
Great chieftain o' the puddin-race!
Aboon them a' ye tak your place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye wordy o' a grace
As lang's my arm.

Or

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind ?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne

Some though would just say "oh that's just Scottish accent" - but there are languages classed as languages which are nearer than the gap between Scots and English.

[Iani]

Is it true in Yorkshire that "tin tin tin" means it isn't in the tin ?

(sorry).

At school, we used to say "tin tin" was what a very fat man would say to a very fat woman when they were "on the job" :Rasp:

:icon_lol: I lived up there for about 6 years and travelled through Aberdeen for about 23 years and worked with the Scots and I can safely say that the majority of Scots speak English. But they do pepper it with some of their own local words. And of course the accent is distinctly their own.

Also my ex wife was Scottish and her parents were from Dundee and Orkneys respectively. They never spoke Gaelic.....though they did, however, bang out the ochs the ayes and the noos quite frequently.
