LARN YERSEL' GEORDIE by Dobson, Scott - 1986

Rothbury, UK: Butler Publishing, 1986. Soft Cover/Stapled. New/None as Issued. BRAND NEW COPY. Teach yourself Geordie, especially if visiting the Tyneside region of North East England --- that land of linguistic conservatism. "Larn" the melodic brogue, gutteral rolling "R" sounds, diphthongs, and Geordic phrases to make yourself understood. Often refered to as a dialect (which the author strongly refutes), Geordie speech is far more akin to Old English, being an amalgaration of the linguistic heritage of Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of the Dark Ages. So, want to order pork, potatoes and turnips at the restaurant? Just say, "Gissies tetties and bagies".
