    I lived on Tyneside for 11 years and worked in North Shields. Every once in a while l get an itch to hear proper Geordie. It’s not just the words it’s the pitch and the rhythm. Geordies end their sentences on a high, sort of questioning note giving the dialect a sort of singing quality. I used to say there’s eff all poetry on Tyneside save how they speak and how they play football. The girls were better than me.

      I'm a Geordie, and I moved to Somerset. I always say we sound abrupt and matter of fact. When I first moved down here people thought I was rude. I kept telling them, it's because they have a soft singsong sort of accent, and mine just isn't 😆. Mind you, like most Geordies I'll tell you exactly how it is, and they're not used to that.
      I've been here 21yrs and I still sound the same. Sometimes I have to tone it down, because they look at me as if I'm speaking Swahili 😆.

    'Keep a haad!' should have been in there. It's the Geordie goodbye, generally used as you're leaving each other to go home.

    What is Geordie? Geordie is part of the Northumbrian dialect, and the Northumbrian dialect comes from Germanic tribes of Anglo-Saxons, or old English. To my Scottish friend's, most of your words are also old English. The reason is parts of Scotland was part of Northumbria, and Northumbria went south to the Humber, north all the way past Edinburgh, West past Whithorn west coast of Scotland. It was huge compared to what it is today. I'm a Geordie, and you could say the birth of English was in Northumberland ☺️

    • @TheSomeChanter
      @TheSomeChanter 2 роки тому +1

      You’ll find the parts of Scotland you refer to were Pictish and Briton areas before Northumberland’s. There was a continual fight for those areas and the Picts defeated Northumberland in a great battle and that was them. Yeah there was leftover in the east and Scots was born from Middle English I think. We have a lot of words that are an amalgamation of Scots and Gaelic.

      I do understand were you are coming From with Pictish, and Gaelic, but these words, are definitely not in Geordie, or Northumbrian, as it's old English. How the Scottish accent sounds is different, and most likely to do with both Pictish, and Gaelic. Basically What I'm saying is any Scottish words that are the same, as Northumbrian, or Geordie are Germanic, or Old English.
      By the Way you Scots managed to get as far as Durham, but then got heavily defeated, and you lost Northumbria. Anglo Saxons were fighting the Danish Vikings at the same time 😉

      @@damianheslop6380 you’re missing my point. No one can say for sure that the word Aye for example was founded in Scotland or Northumbria. As both cultures clashed and both cultures fought, whilst inhabiting lands and people, culturally there would have been integration of a variety of things; none more so than elemental language. My point is that we could have also influenced what you now refer to as Geordie slang.. The Scots language is very different from Georgie slang but there are some obvious overlaps that can be heard in lowland Scotland. Your stance was and is pretty much one sided but I’m afraid history doesn’t show that. It’s important to remember that Scotland was a hotbed of cultures and our language and slang reflects that.
