ESSAY YORKSHIRE

YORKSHIRE ENGLISH Introduction The history of the Yorkshire variety, sometimes known as The Broad Yorkshire, or Tyke, can be traced back to 400 AD, with the arrival of Angles, Saxons, and other Germanic tribes on the mainland of Britain. Yorkshire is located in the north of today's Britain and even though allowing for boundary changes, has remained the biggest county in England. The English language has become one of the most known lingua franca. Language is used for trading, diplomatic and academic context, as well as other social channels built on communication. Yorkshire dialect has remained a peculiar pronunciation and grammar as well as its connection to early English and some other North Germanic languages, which makes it appealing to research about. Talking about the English language, we often hear more about the southern dialects and the Standard British dialect. (Waddington-Feather, 1970; McArthur, n. d)
