Thanks Edrena.

It's a team, my wife and I.

Where I come from we have a language of our own, a very strong
dialect, with words not used by (m)any English speaking folks anywhere
else.

Americans stand virtually no chance of understanding it when spoken
naturally, and the rest of the UK **may** understand every 3rd or 4th
word (when spoken at normal speed).

NOTE :- (From wikipedia :- "The dialect is (massively) toned down for
comprehension of the general (non-Northumbrian) public."),

Many years ago I was sitting in a hotel foyer in Paris, and saw two
girls (early 20's) watching (2 of) us with puzzled looks on their
faces, after maybe 20 minutes or so they approached us (we were in
deep conversation talking more or less non stop), and they tentativley
asked us if we spoke English, i think we responded with "wey
aye" (that means yes), but our initial response didn't really clarify
the matter for them one way or the other .


Instead of "Jolly good show" we might use "wey aye !!!", or "Howay
man" or "thats canny", maybe even "mint".

Here's a couple of links to sites explaining more.

My husband and his family are from Newcastle Upon Tyne, although they have
lived here in Canada since 1964, and it would seem they have lost the
'thickest' part if their accents (hubby was 3 when they came over, so sounds
and is truly Canadain).

I've heard stories about the Geordie language....thanks for the links - I
know they'll be curious to read the Slang Dictionary.
