Barnsley dialect....just for laughs

[MaggieAllan]

I don't know how many Yorkshire folk are out there but as a Lancashire lass I really chuckled when I came across this. If you are interested in dialects have a look. See how many you can understand before you put the sound on?? iberritintmany

A lot of them sound very similar to things said in Lancashire too...good job I put my posh Peter Kay accent on when I travel abroad (on down south!)[msntongue]

I was raised in a Lancashire mining village so I was certainly familiar with many of those. One main difference was oam for home.In our village home was pronounced wom, so, urt goinwom meant are you going home.
It brought back a lot of memories listening to the voice.[msnsmile]

As someone transplanted from the south (Berkshire) to the north (Lancashire) fourteen years ago and had to get used to the lingo to find out what anyone was saying, I even surprised myself that I understood most of them!

I didn't understand much of it either, born and bred down south. My husband is from Lancashire so maybe he would understand.[msnsmile2]

Well we lived 7 miles from Barnsley for a while and I am pleased to say I got them all[clap] Yes I know I am a show off but my eldest had a great Barnsley accent brewing before we moved back down south and nipped it in the bud[msnwink]
