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

We always said 'laykin' (playing).

Oh, and of course marbles were 'nigs'.

isnt yorkshire old viking language ?

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)?

Ironic, but this is the Pontefract/Barnsley accent of my youth.
