		Yorkshire is the largest traditional county of England, covering some 15,000 km² with a population of some five million.
		The Yorkshire dialect is colloquially known as "Tyke", and this is also the affectionate term for a Yorkshireman.
		In 1986 the county councils of West and South Yorkshire were abolished, and in 1996 Humberside and Cleveland were broken up into districts, which became independent administrative counties (unitary authority areas) in their own right, as did an expanded City of York.

	Yorkshire dialect words of Old Norse origin
		In a sense, all language is 'dialect' and Standard English is simply a particular regional dialect that acquired prestige because of its use in the region where the royal court, the earliest universities and the centre of power and administration lay.
		Though this presentation specifies 'Yorkshire dialects', this is not to say that some (indeed, many) of the lexical items in the list will not also be found in the traditional dialects of adjacent or nearby counties.
		Yorkshire has simply been chosen as a representative case study (mainly because it is where I live and because its West Riding dialect is the one I grew up with), recognising that it does not have exclusive claim on all the words presented here.

		It is primarily based on dialects from the South East of England and is used by newspapers and official publications.
		Three major divisions are normally classified as Southern English dialects, Northern English dialects, and Scottish English and the closely related dialects of the Scots language.
		Dialect differences are not, in general, an impediment to understanding among the newer overseas dialects, which are for the most part, linguistically very close to each other since, apart from Pidgin, they are all based on Standard English.

		In one sense it may be said that Yorkshire dialect poetry dates, not from the seventeenth, but from the seventh century, and that the first Yorkshire dialect poet was Caedmon, the neat-herd of Whitby Abbey.
		The importance of Browne's dialect poems consists not only in their intrinsic worth, but also in the interest which they aroused in dialect poetry in Yorkshire, and the stimulus which they gave to poets in succeeding generations.
		The use of dialect enhances the directness and dramatic realism of the story at every turn; the characters stand out sharp and clear, and we are brought face to face with the passion that makes for tragedy.

	Yorkshire Folk Talk - pronunciation.
		The attempts which authors sometimes make to introduce touches of the Yorkshire tongue into their writings are, it must be confessed, for the most part failures; the older country-folk would, I feel sure, be generally at a loss to know what such parodies of their parlance were meant for.
		The second strong characteristic of the pronunciation of the dialect is the prevalence of the eea-sound.
		It may lead to a more correct idea of the pronunciation of the dialect if under the head of each letter a few of the peculiarities are pointed out, and their correct rendering illustrated by examples, though in many cases the true pronunciation can only be approximated by this means.

		Being written in dialect, however, does not mean that people in other parts of the country will understand it because each place has its own particular twang - the north east, West Country, Norfolk.
		Place names in dialect can be worked out by their spellings but many are often still pronounced this way: Wucki'n (Workington), Whitehebben (Whitehaven), Merrypoort (Maryport) and Speeatry (Aspatria).
		One of the reasons for the dilution of the local dialect is because people from other parts of the country have moved into the area, bringing with them their own ways of speaking.

	Yorkshire Folk Talk - Danish comparisons
		I had, too, an opportunity of hearing the Danish folk-talk spoken in its fulness, for the people of that part had mixed but little with the outer world, and in their speech and customs were not far removed from their fore-elders of former centuries.
		Although the Danish dialects when written appear at first sight so different from what we are accustomed in Yorkshire, yet a close examination of them discloses many points of resemblance.
		This sound is in that region identical with the nasal r of the dialects of Southern England.

		To the poems is appended Francis Brokesby's "Observations on the Dialect and Pronunciation of Words in the East Riding of Yorkshire," which he had previously sent to Ray,(1) together with a collection of Yorkshire proverbs and a "Clavis," or Glossary, also by Brokesby.
		What we have now to trace is the extension of this revival of vernacular poetry to the densely populated West Riding, where a dialect differing radically from that of the, north and east is spoken, and where, an astonishing variety of industries has created an equally varied outlook upon life and habit of thought.

	List of Yorkshire dialect words of Old Norse origin
		The Old English cognate bæce may also be the source of the dialect word, though the fact that beck is generally confined to the Danelaw and the north-west as a landscape term suggests an Old Norse etymology.
		In Yorkshire, to be found in expressions such as "Football's looseing" (= the crowd is leaving the football ground at the end of the game), etc. Probably distantly related to the Standard English loose in the sense of 'being free'.
		In Yorkshire, the wapentakes were sub-divisions of the Ridings and, though the latter were dismantled in 1974, wapentakes survive for some administrative/legal purposes.

	This is The North East \| CommuniGate \| Norman Connections
		Following the earlier pattern in Yorkshire and elsewhere, the Viking settlers found partners from the indigenous population of Normandy and, as in Yorkshire, physical and cultural assimilation took place, including the pidginisation and amalgamation of languages.
		The common factor in both Yorkshire and Normandy was, of course, the Old Norse tongue and this has left a legacy of nonstandard words which often have cognates or close-cognates in both the Norman dialect and the dialects of Yorkshire
		Inevitably, as with the Yorkshire dialect lexicon, many Old Norse-Norman words relate to wildlife and to maritime and agricultural objects and activities.
