	Norfolk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Norfolk (pronounced IPA: [ˈnɒːfək]) is a low-lying county in East Anglia in the east of southern England.

		The Norfolk Dialect also known as "Broad Norfolk" is the accent/dialect of people living in Norfolk, although over the modern age, a lot of the vocabulary and phrases have died out due to a number of factors such as radio, TV and people from other parts of the country coming to Norfolk.
