untonuggan: A British stamp of Queen Elizabeth (UK stamp)
100things

My mum is from Yorkshire, in the northern part of the United Kingdom. The first time my partner went to Yorkshire with me she had a difficult time understanding what many of my family members were saying, because Yorkshire has a very particular dialect. I've grown up hearing it, although my mum's is mostly gone except for when she talks to family in the UK. People with a very strong dialect are said to have a "broad" Yorkshire accent.

Here is the "unofficial anthem" of Yorkshire sung in the Yorkshire dialect, to give you a sense of both the Yorkshire sense of humor and how people talk. My mom and my aunts and uncles have all sung it round the dinner table before.
