Doing my nut in - Dialect characteristics - Designing Process

After conducting some research (found on my context blog) after looking at the origins of dialect and accent and the pronounciation of words I listed a few characteristics which I feel will help me in the designing process.


Geordie - 

Miner origins, common name 'george' among pitmen
Over pronounce vowels

Liverpool -

Scouse shortened from lobscouse - Meat stew eaten by sailers
Fast, highly accented
Rise and falling tones

Yorkshire -

Short 'a'
Vowels short


Birmingham -

Metal Working
Iron and coal
Thickest steam in Britain
Miss Vowels - 'Goat' 'Got'
Price and Choice - Oic and ic the same
