View Full Version : Norvern Spelling DaBouncer 27-11-2003, 14:42 Throwing down the gauntlet to you lot. How would you spell 'our' when said in the following northern dialect: "Our Lass'' "Our Old Bird" Our Kid" Think yorkshire (south preferred) way of talking. Would you spell it: "Ay" or "Ar" or what? SaxonLeigh 27-11-2003, 14:52 i dint quite unda stand ya at first! i was going to say 'Ar' but when i said it to myself i sounded abit devonshire as in 'Ar trattor farmer' so now i'm saying 'Ay' max 27-11-2003, 14:52 Ay and ar overcomplicate things. Try r lass, r kid, etc.:) sammyBoy 27-11-2003, 14:53 If you are talking spelling, then I would write it "our lass". If you are wanting it phonetically so someone else can sound like me then maybe "ahh lass"?? Hodge 27-11-2003, 14:58 Wot, you mean like "r Kes"? I tell thee, r Kes, it's reight ova theer in't watuh. By 'eck, there's nought like it, dahn pit wi' a pint o'r'ale. Wippets n't flat caps, I tell thee, it's a reight'un, reight? Iy. Funke88 27-11-2003, 17:09 I always thought it was err in doors. Moonolt 27-11-2003, 17:42 Stick too many 'r's in, and it becomes West Country.

LOL... it's for something! NOt saying what yet tho! How would you spell the 'hour' bit tho, if you we spelling it how it's said! tinajones 27-11-2003, 18:45 Originally posted by DaBouncer LOL... it's for something! NOt saying what yet tho! How would you spell the 'hour' bit tho, if you we spelling it how it's said! maybe like H'our because people often over-stress the 'H' even tho there isn't one! and it makes me laugh... p.s. look its my 500th post! woo-wee!

It isn't pronounced like "ar" or "ay" so why phonetically spell it as though it is? DaBouncer 27-11-2003, 19:50 Originally posted by t020 How about just saying 'our'? It isn't pronounced like "ar" or "ay" so why phonetically spell it as though it is? Because it's for something that will be written. I want it written northern style!
