The Geordie accent is one of the most well-known accents from the United Kingdom. Even some of the dialect words and phrases have become well known such as "howay man" and "wey aye." In this video I'll be looking at the origins of the Geordie dialect, looking at influences from Northumbrian Old English, Old Norse, Dutch, Scots, Romani and more.

I am a Scot who spent the second half of his childhood living in Newcastle. I came away considering myself an adopted Geordie although the accent faded over time when I returned to Scotland. I am now in my seventies and I still call my wife "Pet" and occasionally lapse into the odd colloquialism like, "Hadaway up the wall man". I loved the Geordies, fiercely proud of their heritage and rightly so. Thank you for this video as it brought back many happy memories.

I'm a Geordie who used to spent a lot of time working up in Scotland and we never had any bother with the Scots, like some English can, I think it's because we are closer to Edinburgh than London. Anyway, I picked up 'mind' and 'greeting' and still say it all the time, I don't know why but it drives wor lass up the wall when I do, but I can't help it now. Lol.

I am an absolute southerner hailing from Kent with an RP accent. Being nearly 90 now I can catch several words used when I was young. Having a kip or going to the local hop. In early 50s I joined the WRAF. Meeting and going to the cinema with a young Geordie fella I had a very hard job understanding him. We walked down the cinema aisle and he stopped to say something like ‘Weel gang long this roow ‘. I was pushed into a seat and it dawned on me - we will go along this row. It took some days but I began to understand him. Funny, he could always understand me. I have been interested in accents and where our English words come from ever since.

I'm not surprised you found it easier. The Geordie accent is quite a protected dialect. When the Anglo-Saxons came to England, the Angles came from Schleswig Holstein - which is modern day Northern Germany and Southern Denmark. Because the North East is quite isolated from the rest of the country, it has managed to stand the test of time.

A lot of these words exist all across Northumbria, modern northern England. Crack, marra and deek are all common in cumbria. I’d always thought crack came from craic, some leftover of Irish or Celtic in the still predominantly Celtic parts of north west England. Scran is prevalent across Lancashire as well. I guess the north is more closely connected than our rail lines would have you believe

I'm a Londoner by birth, I remember being at some party when I was young and chatting to this bloke. I was sure he was Danish, so I said something like 'oh what part of Denmark are you from'? He just laughed and said - no he was from Newcastle! So to my ears the accent sounds Scandinavian. My great grandad was a Geordie who married a Dane. My uncle was the only person who had living memory of them and he said his nan talked a weird mix of Danish and broad Geordie - she'd say - 'we's gooin' doon toon flooer' before taking him out shopping with her, as he grew up in Lewisham and Crystal Palace, it must have sounded quite foreign to his ears!LOL 😄

Tyneside is quite isolated from the rest of the country and this seems the most likely reason so many older words have survived. I lived on Tyneside and l absolutely love the dialect (not just an accent). Geordies don’t just speak, they sing. They have a habit of raising and lowering the cadence of their speech and usually end sentences on a higher note than they began. And they have all the wonderful words and phrases you never hear anywhere else. The irony is a lot of people try to ‘correct’ their dialect to more standard forms. Geordie is truly a thing of beauty and if l ruled the world I would make the Queen larn hersel how to speak it.
@crustyoldfart
@crustyoldfart Год назад
I made the comment above that the Cumbrian dialect and Geordie had different cadences, while sharing many words. Cumbrian is monotonic. You are absolutly correct when you say that Geordie is closer to singing. The Welsh have it to a degree - they go up ( high note ) and down ( low note ) alternately during a sentence. She's a braw lass an a canny lass, an she likes haw beah, her name's Cooshy Booterfield an Ah wish she wah heah.

Let me see if I can translate: "She's a brave lass, and a canny (cunning, sly, smart) lass, and she likes her beer. Her name is Cooshy(?) Butterfield and I wish she were here." I hope that is close enough? My only exposure to Geordie was from an episode of Castle and hearing Old English infinitives (and seeing them, in the subtitles) was fascinating!

@jokir67 Год назад
Well I’m a geordie and apart from being mistaken for Welsh or Scandinavian (when away from home on a fairly regular basis) I was also once mistaken for a German but speaking a heavily accented version of English on a Greek Island! You also get used to saying everything twice, once in your own accent then the slower more English version when it’s obvious what word has been misunderstood. I do think a lot of it stems from how quick we tend to talk so words can sound like one long word rather that the five or so separate ones that you have just said. Throw in (or hoy in) the odd ‘bairn’ or ‘howay’ or ‘yem’ it’s hardly surprising people will struggle. I love all accents and dialects though - find everyone’s more interesting than mine! Love to hear speech/language that sounds different on holiday. Be a poor day when we all sound the same.

As a London born child I grew up in County Durham and struggled for years with my school voice which became 'geordie' and my home environment which was 'London' based. Your film is really great; I watch a lot of scandi drama's and always pick up the 'geordie' words (Gan Yem) and the cadence which often sounds like 'geordie'. You have brought back wonderful memories of school in the '70's in this fantastic part of England.

As a Scot myself I would say Scots, Geordie, Dutch & Fresian are all very closy related aswell as Old Norse. I have not heard enough modern Norse to comment on that. What makes Scots distinctive is the great The Great Vowel Shift between 1400 & 1700 this did not happen in Scotland I am not sure if it happened in The North East of England or not. But it most definitely happened in the south of England the thinking is that it made English easier for people from far of lands to understand. But as I say in Scotland Scots did not go along with that. Keep Safe.

Please do a video on Scots. I recognise many of these words as being fairly common in Scots, sometimes called Lowland Scots or Broad Scots. To take a paragraph out of How the Scots Invented the Modern World Chapter 5 "For most Scots, learning to converse and write in English was as difficult as learning a new language. Mistakes in grammar, as well as accent, would constantly give them away. David Hume conversed in broad Scots all his life, but he always regretted that he never learned to speak English as well as he wrote it. He confessed that he and his fellow Scots were “unhappy in our Accent and Pronunciation.” It was not easy to pronounce night as nite instead of nicht, or say brite instead of bricht. It was hard to remember to say old instead of auld; above instead of aboon; talk instead of crack; a gathering instead of a rockin’; to say “It made me very glad” instead of “It pat me fidgin’ fain” or “I am angry” instead of “I’m a’ in a pelter” and “I have drunk a great deal” instead of “I drang a muckle.”

Unfortunately, my kids grew up in York (and then Australia), and group all those local Northern dialects together into "Geordie" even though I'm at pains to explain their error :D Mind you, they probably do it because it proper winds me up, lol.

'Auld' is also the standard Scots pronunciation of 'old', hence the nickname of Edinburgh 'Auld Reekie'. 'Reekie' is, of course, related to the first syllable in Reykjavik and the modern German word for smoke 'Rauchen'.

@@monkeymox2544 I'm inclined to believe that it came from Scotland or the north of England to Ireland for multiple reasons. The vowel sound in old exists in Irish, so I don't think the "au" comes from Irish, and even if it did that wouldn't explain auld also being used in Dublin which has a lot less Irish language influence on speech. However, similar words like cold and bold will be pronounced cauld and bauld by older people in the west of Ireland at least. My mother claims that she's getting "auld and cauld and hard to live with".

Worked away from home many years ago and shared a large house with two Geordie lads. I’m usually very good with accents having lived and worked around the UK including Wales and Ireland ( I’m Scots ) However, one of the lads’ accent was so broad I simply couldn’t make head nor tail of what he was trying to convey. This was where I came across the term ‘ pit-yakkers ’…apparently denoting people who are from ex-coal mining villages around NewCastle/ North east…who have very strong local accents, that even regular Geordies could barely ‘mak oot!’ They’re not exactly Scots and they’re not exactly English….they’re just, you know…Geordies! Britains finest imo.

Greetings from downunder, (near Newcastle-upon-Hunter, actually). Not sure why I clicked on this vid, but thoroughly enjoyed it, and surprised to see many Geordie words I'm familiar with, without previously knowing their origin. Quite a few were commonly used by my late parents despite no Geordie heritage, but maybe explained by distant Scottish ancestry. Others are common in the military, eg kip and scran. In fact, today I learned that scran is a word in its own right, and not an acronym for S**t Cooked [by] Royal Australian Navy!

Never heard it said anywhere since and I've lived all over the country. We were all from Yorkshire going way back. Our family has it's roots in Scandinavia and also France, but as far as we've been able to research there is no North Eastern influence.

It is interesting to me that English Northumbria fought off the Vikings, and with the Vikings taking Yorkshire, old English dialects were separated for a period, until united with England under the kings of Wessex. Because, when I was a kid growing up and england's northernmost county was called Northumberland, and then later in adulthood finding that Northumbria literally means north of the Humber, while Northumberland was miles from the Humber, and also geographically speaking, this territory covered much of modern Lothian in Scotland, and the current England Scotland border at Berwick established quite a while after England was recognised as an entity.

Some words I used to hear in my youth seem to be seldom heard now but I've been struck by how many words we have in common with Danes and Germans and how the way their languages work reminds me of how my grandma used to speak.

Another informative and interesting presentation Hilbert. Excellent. Will Cumbric Brithonic have had an influence? I visit friends in West Cumbria often. I have come to know the words ''yam'' 'twine', 'clarty' and 'marra', used in every day speech around countryside Workington along the Derwent. My friend usually greets male friends with, 'Allrite marra'. Or would Geordie have had an influence in Cumbria over the centuries. As a Welsh speaker who studied the development of the Welsh language from Brithonic, I understand written Cumbric very well. Two of Wales's earliest poets, Taliesin and Aneurin, hailed from that part of Britain from Strathclyde (Ystradclud) to Leeds (Elfed/Elmet).

I'd love to see something similar for the Liverpool dialect. In the video I heard quite a few words that are also common in Liverpool. I grew up in an area with a tributary river, that was then just a stream at the bottom of a deep but clear river bank. Local legend told that the river was once much deeper and wider, and used by the vikings to raid the local area. This was dismissed as myth until viking artefacts were dug up as the land started to be developed. Sadly, its all been built on now and the river diverted. I suspect the local dialect has been influenced in a similar fashion to geordie.

Hello thanks for an interesting video on linguistics and the Geordie language. I love the accent and how smooth it sounds. A distinctive sound almost lyrical it was interesting to show where the different types of words origins came from or began. I found it interesting and considered you included words from the Romani language. as an English native born in the South East of England to mixed English and Welsh Romani people (the word Gypsy was given as the theory of being mistaken for Egyptian people due to the foreign language and the colour of their skin (our original country was India 🇮🇳 and there are several theories as to why we left) Just wanted to say like the different regional accents differ around the UK it is the same for Romani too. The word Gadje for instance you pronounced it slightly different than I would have done. Scran is also used but hobben is also a Romani word meaning for food. Chavi /Chavo is a child similar to the Spanish using o for male child and I for a girl child. Our language has had several changes through out history depending on where we sought a place to live. So you will find many words from Sanskrit Hindi Punjabi and interesting that I also use kip for sleep. As I was raised speaking Romani and English I assumed some words were English or old English but they were Romani.. The producer of this video has certainly been working hard on this.. Thanks for sharing.. Kushti bokt (means good luck in Romani)🍀

I grew up with it and understood it, but my childhood friends in the states did not! I was told as a child that the Geordie dialect was the old known form of the actual English language. It is interesting to note that as an American I often heard the old Geordie words used in the Appalachian Mountains of north Georgia, some dating from settlers there in the time of Queen Elizabeth-the-first - words like "larn" for "learn," "ax" for "ask," and many more. Some words were spoken the same, too, like bow - spoken as in bow and arrow - in the word "boat" - spoken as "bow-ette."

Great video. Another word I'd add is a word my dad used to use which is 'loppy'. If your hair looked dirty he'd say 'you look loppy' meaning you look as though you might have fleas. In later life I learned the Swedish word for a louse was 'loppa'. Are you from Newcastle? I ask this because I did find the video to be rather Newcastle centred, which on the one hand is understandable it being the main urban Geordie area but on the other hand continues a claim to the origins of the word Geordie, which is just not questioned enough. You mention the poem. In fact, I believe this is just about the only written evidence for any link between the word Geordie (a common short form of George in former times) and the Jacobites. Anyway this is just one theory and it is just a theory. Another theory for which there are more written records is a nickname for the miners of Durham and Northumberland. Again this is a theory but one that I personally feel holds more water. My family on both sides are 100% north eastern with my mother's family coming from mining villages across Durham and my father's family from Gateshead and Newcastle. I myself was born in Framwellgate Moor just outside Durham City but grew up in Hebburn. We all called ourselves Geordies and referred to our dialect as Geordie. There were alway slight differences in accent which meant you could tell if somebody was from Durham or Newcastle etc but I don't recall from my childhood in the 1960s and 70s the people of Newcastle being considered more Geordie than us. The links between the name Geordie and just the city of Newcastle has gained traction over more recent years and I believe there is something in the theory that it originated among Newcastle football fans. Similarly the term Mackem only seems to go back to the 1970s and may well have been a reaction to deliberately underline a difference between Sunderland and Newcastle because of local rivalries. Sorry that's a bit long winded but I do feel the term Geordie has been hijacked by Newcastlers on dubious grounds and is not challenged enough. This is also an interesting film on the topic made by Tyneside Life. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-G0TZY5dtM34.htmlsi=pMuimu2owB3GnkyT There is also a fascinating and extensive examination of the north east dialect on the website of the British Library.

The narrator starts by saying "Hailing from the city of Newcastle upon Tyne and its environs". Well, does it? Cities like Newcastle grew when people came from the countryside and settled there for work. So the accent may not really originate in the city. It was brought to the city from the surrounding areas. I doubt anyone thinks Newcastle invented an accent which spread outwards across the north east. And the following from the Newcastle city website on the origins of the word Geordie. "The name originated from the coal mines of Durham and Northumberland, for many poems and songs written about, and in the dialect of, these two counties speak of the “Geordie”. The Oxford English Dictionary states that the word was first used to describe a local pitman or miner in 1876." So yes, Newcastle being the central hub likes to claim 'geordie' as its own but there is little evidence for that claim. I am interested in the football idea. Rings true to be honest.
