The Yorkshire Accent(s): Northern vs. Southern Differences in Pronunciation

In this video I take thee on a tour round t'Yorkshire accents! ahem I show you how to sound more Yorkshire and understand the Yorkshire accents. This video's perfect for anyone who's interested in the differences between northern and southern varieties of British English. This video only goes through a handful of the differences, and there are SO MANY Yorkshire varieties which I sadly haven't even touched on in this video. I hope you enjoy it and get a taste of how I REALLY sound when I'm not using my "teacher voice"! :)

    I grew up in California, and my soccer/football coach was from Yorkshire. He was also an excellent English teacher and would recite Shakespeare and other classic British prose or poetry with this accent. I grew up thinking that was the proper upper class Way to speak British English. When I hear this accent, I recognize it straight away, and I smile at how much lovelier it is to listen to than the snobby King’s version.

    A few years ago my wife and I took the train from London to York. In a fairly empty car, there were three retired railroad men sitting across the aisle from us, Yorkshire men on their way home. Their conversation was so lively and fun and the sound of their accent so engaging. They invited us to join in. It was one of the highlights of the trip. I must add, we're Americans. We found York itself to be, well, brilliant.

    From a fellow Yorkshire lass, born and raised in Barnsley (with family still there) and having lived in Halifax and now Bradford, worked in Leeds, with friends from Sheffield and Thirsk and Scarborough, plus having family in Holmfirth and Huddersfield and teachers from York, work colleagues from Doncaster and Hull, thank you for this. I'm so fed up of the generic 'Yorkshire' accents of actors and actresses that are just as likely to sound more like they come from the other side of the Pennines or are a touch closer to the Geordie accent etc. Having worked in Manchester one day a week for years and with many work colleagues and family from Northumberland, again a place of many accents I also get fed up of Manchester accents on telly being so wrong and of Newcastle's own very distinctive and rich accent being used to portray people from that county but living miles from the Tyne. Thank you for touching on the fascinating differences between the speech of people who live only a relatively short distance from each other.

I had lived in York for the last 10 years and only just recently moved back to Taiwan. Hearing your N. Yorkshire accent does bring back loads of fond memories and make me really miss York. When I lived in York, I got to hear all kinds of accents at work, I didn’t particularly like the York accent to be honest and I was struggling to understand it, but it grew on me and I think it is the most charming accent in the entire UK. Thank you for the video and it did make me homesick! And just wanted to let you know you are brilliant!

    Im from Hull in Yorkshire and I was on holiday playing football on the beach with lots of Dutch guys, when I talked with them I had to slow down my words a bit but then some woman heard me talk who was from Doncaster and immediately said to me you are from Hull arent you. Then we both started talking with each in full Yorkshire flow and the Dutch guys couldnt understand a single word, people who learn English in foreign countries and then teach that English without coming to England to understand it properly the people they teach come to the UK and they cant understand a single word. You would be able to understand real English people more than anyone who even can score higher than you in learning English when it comes to actually using it in with real British people...

However, it really wouldn’t make sense for someone in another country to be learning a regional dialect of English as it wouldn’t be helpful in interviews and such. I myself am learning Received Pronunciation as it is more or less familiar to any international speaker. However, I do, from time to time, listen to recordings of people speaking dialectal English as well as English accents from the UK and around the world, so that i can understand any English speaker.

The children at school thought I was Irish , the milkman thought my family were Welsh and the new friendly neighbours were totally amazed by us . There are so many different ' Yorkshire ' accents having travelled the county for many years . But if we really want to ' open a can of worms ' how about the Saddleworth accent ? That was part ( and many say still is ) of the West Riding of Yorkshire until 1974 . Perhaps the subject of your next video ? Hmm ... Thanks again , Mark .

    Ey up from the US. I love the Yorkshire accent! Best English accent there is. I can usually understand the accent if it's not too broad and fast. I think it's odd how the Hull accent is so much different than the rest of Yorkshire. I'm from the southern US, and people try to mimic our accent all the time-sometimes very well and sometimes awful. Funny but Brits can do it better than the northerners here (picture Vivien Leigh in Gone With the Wind). Good video. I hope to visit your beautiful Yorkshire countryside one day.

    Most of my family are from Barnsley that's a pretty broad accent and my husband still struggles to understand them when we visit 😂 I was raised in Wakefield so mines a bit of a combination accent, not broad although when I rant it's definitely broad 😂

    Hi Emma! It was very interesting to listen to your explanations about Yorkie! For me Northern English sometimes seems to be very close to my Viennese accent on English 😉 The most interesting information you gave, is you will speak with a deeper voice. We always wonder, why women use to speak English with a kind of excited childish sound 🤔

    What a brilliant Video Emma and it's solved the problem of why the sister's accents in 'Happy Valley' vary when they use the 'O' sound. One sounds 'posher' than the other but, in fact, it's because they developed their language a bus ride away! The beginnings a new plot twist if only there was a future series! :-)

    Great video! I'm from South Yorkshire / West Riding and here's a few things I would add. I change a 't' to an 'r' in words like 'got'. Such as 'she's gorra funny accent'. And with words like 'floor' and 'door' I add an extra syllable so they become 'floo-er' and 'doo-er'. I wrote a dialect poem (it's on my channel) and people from other parts of Yorkshire told me they didn't speak like that at all, but I just had to explain that that's because they were from a different part of Yorkshire and that was the accent/dialect when I was growing up!

    Thank you! 😁 Quick question! You only change that “t” to a “r” if it is between vowels, right? “Gorrit” (got it) but not “gorrthe” (got the), for example? Just curious! I’ve also heard of the “floor-a” and “door-a” thing! That’s definitely a South Yorkshire/Sheff thing, isn’t it? 😄 I’ll go check out your poem now!

    Emma, thank you for the North and South pronunciation differences. I live in the USA in the state of Georgia, in particular, the northern part of the state and I find it odd that your Northern Yorkshire accent is so much like a North Georgia accent but just a little bit faster. Thanks again for the lesson.

    I live in the U.S. I love all the different English accents, and for an American, I've gotten pretty good identifying (roughly) the different regional accents. At least not all English (or certainly British) accents sound the same to my ear. I think I can identify the Yorkshire accent from all the Downton Abbey episodes I watched.
