I'm a Yorkshireman! (Jórvík Vestr þriðjungr) Ek bjó fyrst á þorir. Yorkshire dialect was heavily influenced by old East Norse, for example "Ey Up" in Sweden is "Sey upp" and it actually means "look up" in both Sweden and in Yorkshire Dialect (Though most on Yorkshire think it means "Hello")
Ey up! ;) Yes I was aware of some norse influence, there are old documentaries around which talk about it. I recall one mentioned "addle some brass" with addle being a norse word for earn? Quite a fascinating subject I think.
I really like your accent. I'm from the southern US, and have always liked the Yorkshire accent. You said you're from the West Riding, but which city are you closest to? I have enjoyed hearing the Sheffield accent spoken by my favorite band Def Leppard. It is a very down to earth and friendly sounding accent.
Born and bred in the west riding sheep farmer my family still speak old dialect ,we have to speak slower when we go south and sometimes forget and folks ask which part of scandivavia do we come from or scotland
aye that's a real accent lad. i have a book of Yorkshire poetry i'm tempted to make a response video for you its wonderful because it literally written in the Yorkshire accent
That might be easier if I still lived in Yorkshire haha 😂. I didn't really grow up with the dialect, just the accent, which has proven remarkably resilient in spite of 15 years living in the Midlands.
