... but you may find that what is truly, sheffield-only is not a lot.

 

"Laiking" for example can be found over Cumberland, Westmoreland and North Lancashire.

 

Thanks cgk. I imagine that will probably be the case, so any input is welcomed. The problem I had when looking through sf is that many people assume words that are in common usage are unique to Sheffield (clobber and fettle keep coming up) and I want to avoid them, but I imagine most words will be used elsewhere. Even gennel, nesh and mash which i would consider real Sheffield words are used elsewhere even if they do have slightly different meanings in different places

Ey up! I am looking for informants from South Yorkshire (Sheffield, Barnsley, Rotherham..) and Chesterfield to fill in a survey on social perceptions towards British accents in Sheffield and surrounding areas. It's for my Master's thesis. If you can give me a hand I would really appreciate!
