"Abackabeyont, bait-poke, drucken, fettle, guissie pigs, marra, nyen, plote, queen-cat, yem, zookers!" If you enjoy finding out about dialect words - how and where and when they were used - and where they came from - this is the best guide to help you explore the world of North East dialect. This is the seminal dictionary of North East dialect.
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.
