I live right on the border between Yorkshire and Teesside, in a place called Redcar and Cleveland, my town was actually about 10% in Yorkshire so we get some very weird hybrid accents, but it’s always strange that I grew up in Yorkshire, near Whitby, and my girlfriend grew up in Middlesbrough, only like a half an hour apart, we even went to the same college, and yet I quite often say things she doesn’t understand at all, her favourite thing to make fun off is that I pronounced Cold as ‘Cord’ or ‘Cod’ and Warm rather than ‘War-m’ as ‘W-arm’. As well as the fact I sometimes pronounce Water as if it rhymes with latter
@@Insertnamehere662 I went to the art college in Hartlepool, so I’m familiar with the accents in that region! So much diversity in such a small area it’s amazing! So many people at the college thought I was super posh because I live in the area around York 😅 if anything I’ve needed up with an incredibly non-descriptive accent
I too am from Rotherham (this short must be hitting a very specific audience lol) and I frequently travel Doncaster and Barnsley way, and indeed the accent change is subtle but still enough that you can tell where a person is from within Yorkshire.
I've always thought Barnsley is the quintessential Yorkshire accent. If someone on TV or in a film is from Yorkshire they'll have a Barnsley accent. Except for Sean Bean who can be from anywhere in any universe real or fictional and will always be from Sheffield.
I live in Barnsley and my girlfriend had that Barnsley accent 😂 but she says she tones it down along side with her family so I can understand since I'm Portuguese originally 😂
I'm from a village bang on the half way point between Doncaster and Barnsley, theres a group of village's here that have aspects of Barnsley and Doncaster but are neither here nor there, its quite surprising when people guess the village you're from just by how you speak
I'm from a village in Barnsley called Brierley. Down the road in Royston, literally 3 miles away, they speak radically differently to me. My girlfriend is from Doncaster and she struggled to understand me when we first met. Yorkshire is a strange place😂
I live in skipton, grew up in grassington, theres a subtle but noticeable difference between the 2 accents. And then its completely different again when you get to keighley and then theres bratfud and LEEEEEEEEEEEEEDS accents.
Moved to Barnsley from Dewsbury, 15.7m. Two ENTIRELY different accents. I work with a Sheffield man, a Barnsley man, a Rotherham woman, a Harrogate man, my partner works in Leeds. I call businesses we deal with in Hull all the time. As a foreigner, I hear the differences.
I am from Harrogate! Can confirm yer most people do! But we do have rough areas so some are like bilingual in 2 accents depending on the person. If u go 40 min to Leeds then it’s completely different
I was brought up in a small village in Yorkshire where the village next to it had a slightly different accent, but noticeable enough for us to make fun of each other for it.
This has everything for me, where I'm from, where I spent many years and where I live now... Best of ALL, Miss Naomi Carter❤ The Harrogate accent has changed so much, it's weird. It used to be quite a standard North Yorkshire accent and now it's Surreygate😂. What a conference centre can do...
I live in hull and when I was a young child I had a hull accent I go my accent conditioned out of me now everyone asks if I’m a southerner and it’s actually heart breaking hahs😅
Can tell if someone's Halifax, Wakefield, Leeds or Bradford based on their t's and vowels. Can also tell an imposter from the dark side of the Pennines by their pronunciation of the ou in sound, more of an oh than an ow
Yeah, I'm from right near Yorkshire, half hr drive from Doncaster...right in the middle of Sheffield, Nottingham & Derby...but I dont sound like Sheffielders, cos I dont say "dOOOn't" & "nOOO". I'm a bit of a cross between several UK accents!
Grew Up in Rotherham & Sheffield and also lived in Barnsley, Doncaster... and now Hull for the last 20 years. Also worked in Leeds & Wakefield... Nowhere in the country has such a diverse set of accents in such a small place... I mean, the UK itself is bad for it, but Yorkshire is something else. My home town, you could tell which part of the town someone was from due to their difference in accent!
I’m from Harrogate, only half the town is posh, the rest live like people in Doncaster or outer Leeds, but sound equally as posh as the other people in Harrogate
Then go reet up North to 'Artlepool and we all ta' li- the wurds' last two le-urs has fallen off. And some people speak their own dialect that is somewhere between English and Wibbl
I’m from Hedon just outside of Hull. Good to see our shithole getting some recognition. You don’t have to head 40 mile to hear a different accent lol you can literally head out of hull and they’ve got a different one
tbf it depends who you talk to in harrogate. sure if theyre from fullwith mill lane theyre probably jacobs first cousin but just need to head down to the other side of the stray and people talk much more normal
Then you travel an hour to North Yorkshire to Teesside and you are suddenly shook by the roughest sounding dialect in the Yorkshire region. Mental to think somewhere as historically beautiful as Yorkshire could be home to the most dangerous place in the country.
