My she's good.

I was in a shop recently where the shop assistant had a thick n yorks accent and a bloke from west yorks with an equally thick accent was trying to buy something neither could understand each other. Almost two different languages and yet so close in distance. I could understand both as I've lived in both places, made me smile.

Very good, I enjoy hearing different accents, so long as they speak slowly!

Growing up in The Calder Valley by the Calder river I spoke West Yorkshire dialect. It's full of Old Norse, so not standard English.  Everyone else did too.  

 

But in West Yorkshire it can be a different accent across ten miles.  Just Huddersfield say Love as Lov.  For me, laik was a verb meaning play, or messing around.  That's a Wakefield thing. Leeds is a harsher accent.  I have Welsh language speakers in the family too.  Bore Da.

 

Only place I heard RP was on the TV growing up.

 

I drop back into YD when I go back.
