I was reading a book and the main character has a Yorkshire accent and I want to be able to read it with the proper accent, if you know what I mean. Which is why I went looking for something like this. This video was really informative and it turns out I was reading in the complete wrong accent. Thanks!

My mother was from Middlesbrough, and whenever I hear the accent it reminds me of her, my aunts, and my godmother. Something about the accent just makes me feel like i'm home. It's so inviting and friendly, even when they're giving you a hard time. :D

My father, who is from northern California and born in the 1920s, used to say "by gum!" I hadn't heard the term in decades. There must have been a strong Yorkshire influence in the rural coastal town he grew up in.

I'm French and here just to hear the melody of Yorkshire accent that reminds great travel backpacking memories and people ☺️ interesting language diversity too 👍🏼

As an exiled Glaswegian Scot living in Iceland this brought back so many fond memories of my late Yorkshire grandmother from Pocklington and how she switched whenever she visited England's greatest (in both senses!) county. Well explained, a good pace, informative and fun.

Had to think of Louis the whole time.😂

love it when she says "bet put kettle on."
Speaking as a Midwestern American brushing up on dialects

It seems like many English that emigrated to America way back when were from Yorkshire. The way she pronounces some words reminds me of folks from Massachusetts, Maine, New York and Canadian English.

A man goes to the vet because his cat is poorly. The vet says "Is it a tom?" and the man says "Nay lad, 'ah've got it 'ere in t'basket!"

Most people: come here to learn accents for plays or just for fun

Me: supposed to be learning a southern English accent but learning a northern one because I want to sound like Louis Tomlinson

Edit: Literally made this comment over a year ago and I’m still getting notifs- why-

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!

All you need to get you around Yorkshire, as follah's:

"Owzit goin''" - How is it going/how are you?
"Y'right?" - Are you alright? (covered in this video)
"Sinabit!" - See you in a bit/while!
"Shurrup!" or "Sh'rup!" - Shut up!
"Int ee ovver there" - Isn't he over there?
"Ow much izzit?" - How much does this cost?
"I ampt dun it" - I haven't done it
"Eey, lass/lad, amofta't park!" - Hey female/male, I'm off (going) to the park
"Canya gerrus sum torlet/bog roll?" - Can/could you get me/us some toilet paper? (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." Bloody hell, it's so hot outside the concrete and walkways are breaking apart.
"Am colder than a witch's tit." - It's extremely cold outside/I'm cold, also, 'Am bloody frozzen."

omg a channel that explains different kinds of English accents you're exactly what I've been looking for!!! English accents are so fascinating bc there's so many in such a tiny area!! And they're so pretty!!

[thecoolaxolotlnova]

Despite speaking fluent American English I'm gonna start binge watching English tutorials because of how interesting they are

[angeline]

I'm so happy you're doing another accent video!! They are my favourite ones !! It's very helpful!! 🇬🇧❤️

I'm a Yank and I get a kick out of listening to the Yorkshire farmer characters on old episodes of "All Creatures Great and Small", not only the sound and distinct vocabulary (I esp. like "nowt"), but the dropping of articles "the" and "a/an" is interesting. I confess that sometimes those old "farmers" are hard for me to understand, but that's the beauty of language; there are so many dialects! I also enjoy hearing Derek Jacobi do a Yorkshire dialect in "Last Tango in Halifax", quite different from his Shakespearean roles!
