Description

Until the 20th century, dialect was a marker of economic, social and cultural change.

We know that the North East maritime connections with the Dutch led to the introduction of many 'new' words.

The Scottish influence of the keelmen (fisherman) on the Tyne and their effect on local language was much more radical.

Although the Tyneside dialect and identity and this way of speaking is fast waning, the popularity of discovering this language and dialect shows there is still a great interest in the languages and dialect of the past.
