rubydazzler Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 A couple of books available on line, A Tour of the Don, and the Sheffield Dialect for those who want to know how the dialect was and still is used, no joined up words. http://books.google.com/ Thanks for that link, very interesting to see how the Sheffield dialect pronunciation seems to have changed over the century ... and I was surprised to see that originally according to that book 'nesh' did actually mean "poor-spirited", which is how the young'uns seem to use it today ("you're sooo nesh" = "you're a wimp") ... "Wen I wor a lass" etc etc, it meant you felt the cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
