What better way to celebrate Yorkshire Day than by celebrating the unique dialect of Yorkshire?

Held at the Huddersfield Quaker Meeting House, ‘Yorkshire Dialect for Yorkshire Day’ brought together people of all ages to explore the rich history of the Yorkshire dialect and the words and phrases that have been passed down through generations.

Organised by the Past Truisms CIC and the Yorkshire Dialect Society, the UK’s oldest dialect society, the event offered a rare opportunity to hear authentic Yorkshire dialect spoken by people ranging from their 20s to their 90s, while sharing stories, learning new words and having a good laugh along the way.

The Yorkshire dialect has roots stretching back through the influence of Celtic, Anglo-Saxon and Viking languages, making it an important part of the region’s cultural heritage. But with many traditional words and expressions now disappearing from everyday use, events like this play an important role in keeping the dialect alive.

So, whether you've lived in Yorkshire all your life or arrived here from somewhere else, there was plenty to learn, plenty to laugh about and plenty of Yorkshire pride to go around.

“An remember lads and lasses – we’er short o’ nowt we ‘amt got!”
