Minneapolis, Minnesota here. We do drop the g in some ing words. A main one would be "coming." Also "doing." But would only drop it in certain types of sentences. "Are you comin with?" "Whatcha doin?" But it also depends on the situation. Most here wouldn't drop the g in a formal setting like at work or school or even with grandparents/relatives, etc. It's informal so would be used with friends or immediate family for the most part.

I’m not from the UK but lived in Scotland for a couple years. One thing that fascinated me is how in England, the closer you get to Scotland the more the Scots accent kind of slowly creeps into the language. At least that’s what it sounds like to foreign ears when listening to Northern English accents, and makes sense geographically. I even understand the slang better since a lot of it is also present in Scotland (definitely have heard “proper chuffed” a ton). It’s so cool!

[@doncorleole2356]

I'm led to believe that the Yorkshire dialects are very Old Norse influenced where as North of the River Tees going up to the Scottish Borders even Edinburgh, it's more Old English influenced. Being a Yorky myself who travels to Whitley Bay a lot it interests me how 50 miles from Scarborough, North Yorkshire it starts to become even more Northern English. I think there's quite a difference between Hartlepool and Middlesbrough...also Redcar and Guisborough. Also the Cumbrian accent comes across as a mix of Yorkshire and Durham Dale's speak.

[@sophiefoster1311]

It’s not Scottish. Yorkshire is mostly Norse influenced

(optional: can pronounce 'roll' like 'doll') "Izzit just me or izzit 'ot inere?" - Is it just me or is it hot in here? "Bloody 'ell, it's crackin' t'flags aht there."

The thing I notice most about Yorkshire is that they usually drop the "the" in sentences. I have a feeling this goes back to their days as being Jorvik, and having strong Scandiwegian influences in their language, as the Nordics don't have the word "the" in their vocabulary, and instead modify the noun to make it an absolute.

Even some of the villages inside the different towns have completely different accents to the rest of the same towns.

Yorkshire is such a big county with a variety of accents!

It’s like reminding non-Brits that there’s more British accents than just RP and cockney. You’ve got your Sheffield, your Leeds, your Hull, your Doncaster, your York, your Bradford etc

[@owenjackson92]

There are different Yorkshire accents, which you can tell the difference if you're from Yorkshire, depending on which part of Yorkshire you are from. It is sometimes perceived that we sound common to some people who with the received pronunciation, and this could be from anywhere in the UK, even Yorkshire itself. In Yorkshire, If you go to more affluent areas such as York or Harrogate in North Yorkshire, their Yorkshire accent is less strong and more inclined towards sounding like received pronunciation. I'm from a town near Wakefield, West Yorkshire. Wakefield centre and the Leeds accents sound very similar, like the woman Loren in the video, but the towns surrounding Wakefield (Normanton, Castleford, Pontefract,) near me, and outer Wakefield areas have our own accent which sound more like the broader West Yorkshire accent, and we sound different to Loren in the video. We pronounce our vowels "O"s and "A"'s properly when it comes to words such as: No, Show, Snow, Go, we pronounce the "oh" sound in these words with the W at the end. Loren in the video says these phrases as a prolonged "uh" sound , she would say these words as Nur, Shur, Snur, Gur. Loren misses off saying the W at the end of the word and says them as an "uh" rather than "oh". That is something that gets on our nerves where I'm from. Another example would be Boat, where I'm from we pronounce the "oh" sound and say the W on the end, but Loren sounds like she's saying Bert. We also pronounce the A "ey" that sounds like "hey" in the words Cake, Rake, Take, Steak, Stay, May. Loren pronounces the vowels in the middle of these words as "air" instead of "ey" eg Cairk, Rairk, Stairk, Stair, Mair. In a separate issue, I agree that a common thing we do in Yorkshire is not say the word "The". Another thing is not pronouncing "T"s in the middle and at the end of words. Also we don't all pronounce all of our "H"s in Yorkshire, so for House we wouldn't say the "H" at all. I was brought up to pronounce my "T"s, because it would be seen as common/ improper to miss them out, but my family still miss out their "H"s. I have since tried to learn to neutralise/ dilute my accent and speak more received pronunciation. I pronounce my "T"s and "H"s, but not too heavily because in Yorkshire they would call you posh and think you're from down South if you spoke correctly with received pronunciation. South Yorkshire, around Sheffield also have their own variation of the Yorkshire accent. If you go to Barnsley or Rotherham in South Yorkshire, not too far from Sheffield, they have their unique accents that sound the closest to the Old Yorkshire accent.

[@andyclark1337]

[@Moralatheist101]

Mother was from Arkansas; I was born and raised in California: "By gum" was used so much that I know what the phrase meant before the explanation. Weird how language is passed down.

[@agoogleuser4443]

I'm from NC and by gum was common among older folks. Heard my grandparents say it.

[@iwales]

By gum and Tarrar love would be reasonably common in Australia too. Faffing about would be understood, but possibly, more likely it would be Fluffing about

This is wonderful to hear the differences between the two accents! So cute 😍

[@TheKegs64]

I'm from North East Wales, in my mid 50's, and I grew up using these words - Jammy, faffin', chuffed, butty, ta-ra - and I still use and hear most of them being used, but not so much by the under 40's maybe. This is a great accent vid, thank you.

[@starsoftiee]

When I read The Secret Garden I was really confused cause I’ve never heard a Yorkshire accent before and didn’t know how they sounded like. Thanks for the video!

[@eclecticdog2k901]

[@tayloringham8212]

I'm from West Yorkshire and I feel like we have the strongest Yorkshire accent. To me, when I heard Loren I didn't even think she was from Yorkshire. I think the diversity comes from the large amount of farmland so a lot of Yorkshire is quite sparsely populated (except city's like Leeds and York etc). Very interesting tho, some words we use here are things like chuck the same way you would duck, sithee as well as tarra and also tea cake instead of bun which I heard her use.

[@xRainbowCloud]

I'm from South Yorkshire, and I definitely agree that West Yorkshire has the stronger accents, especially nearing north Yorkshire. And we say teacake here in Barnsley as well, it's so good to finally find someone else who doesn't call it a bread bun or bread roll or whatever ridiculous names they've come up with. XD

[@nikolaisliwerski6916]

For sure! I’m from South Yorkshire and have family in West Yorkshire and we sound completely different ! I’m from the farming area and even the Barnsley accent is completely different from mine! (Which is 7 miles away!)

As an American, I loved Northern England although the farthest north I got was Liverpool. I found the people much friendlier and the beer cheaper than around London.

[@Jefff72]

I have to correct the statement above. I meant Liverpool was the farthest North I have been before Scotland. I'm not counting the Motorway. I forgot that I was in Blackpool but that was just a day shot from where we were staying in Cheshire. This was back in the 90s. Good times!

[@AFireInTheMastersHouseIsSet]

i am from Yorkshire. You should've gone one further into detail upon the omissions of letters. there are 2 different Yorkshire dialects (i.e) "give over with it" becomes "gi' o'er wi' it", but it is dependent on the context, because....In Yorkshire; "over" can either be "o'er" or "ovver"

[@xRainbowCloud]

Stephen Foz I think she can do both accents pretty well and the company thought she was the best for it

[@jjbud3124]

I remember old folks in the US, when I was a child say "by gum". People in NYC would pronounce "kettle" the same way. Some vowels are pronounced the same in US English. I watched the series "All Creatures Great and Small" and by the end of the series I was able to make out most of the Yorkshire accent. I have ancestors from Yorkshire and Lancashire. My grandfather had the Lancashire accent.

[@AlloyOzz08]

Being from West Yorkshire where I, my brother and mum (mam) are all from and a dad from Newcastle, I hear both accents coming out from her. The way Loren say's certain things, for instance "Dassn't", "Don't", "Your", "That" and "Like" is just like all my Newcastle family. But a lot of my Yorkshire side don't say it like that. It's beautiful to listen to. Live over in the States now and miss all my fam over there. Great video! Good job both of you!

When mentioning the TV Programmes our regional soap is actually Emmerdale. It's set between Leeds and Harrogate. Which are both urban areas in Yorkshire. Coronation Street is more Lancashire and Manchester. Their accents are slightly different to ours and use words we're not familiar with. Hollyoaks is a mixture of Scouse and the traditional Cheshire accent.
