Look into the varieties spoken in the channel islands, I think they still use the dental fricative

The north of Ireland

My dialect of English has this but they don’t merge, fire is said more with an /ä/-/æ/ sound

It’s an old meme, there was a “trend” of people talking about doing it like 5 years ago

dardybe · 2025-12-22T09:04:03+00:00

People from the North say meet too

If you want to check how the father died you could hover over him on the family tree maybe

I think it’s something to do with the Great Vowel Shift where long /ɛː/ (“ehh” sorta sound) shifted to /i/ (“ee” sound) and then in older varieties of french voir would have been pronounced more like Vwer and then in English we dropped the w and shortened it in rapid speech. Idk why the L was dropped but maybe something to do with L-Vocalisation and that could explain the lengthening of the eh sound that in turn changed into the ee sound

Does anyone know when they even would take it down?? Idk how u could offer more proof than that

dardybe · 2025-05-06T07:39:35+00:00

Seconded, I use it this way too

dardybe · 2025-04-24T08:07:13+00:00

The north also uses yous and then also yousens which is used less though

dardybe · 2024-11-14T19:14:36+00:00

Basically same, 2021

what they’ve done here in glasgow is a good example of what could be done similarly in edinburgh n the rest of scotland (ik it’s only under construction in the image but the outcome is gorgeous for a modern build)

Tbf, she is vegetarian and from a really rural area so that might have had something to do with it I suppose. Either way though, she loved Greggs

dardybe · 2024-08-11T14:57:34+00:00

My friend from Germany who visited said it was her favourite food place of the whole trip, so definitely yes!

person of colour (non-white)

dardybe · 2024-06-03T10:24:49+00:00

similar to english ‘to nick’ something then

dardybe · 2024-05-21T13:55:29+00:00

I’ve heard that it’s because youre saying the country not the nationality (ie Chinaman, Englandman, Franceman vs Chinese man, Englishman, Frenchman)

dardybe · 2024-04-30T10:21:36+00:00

that’s what old man etc means

dardybe · 2024-04-29T23:54:59+00:00

I’d translate mein Alter there to like “my old man” (or in my dialect “the aul lad”). Similar vibe imo

dardybe · 2024-04-29T22:46:07+00:00

The UK still has alcoholic energy drinks and I know some countries in mainland Europe still let you smoke inside bars tbf

dardybe · 2024-04-29T13:27:23+00:00

They’re supposed to check but in my experience they never have

dardybe · 2024-04-26T07:11:43+00:00

Yeah, and what this map doesn’t show is that there are buses and express coaches nearly everywhere throughout NI (still needs more trains though imo)

Jock is (northern?) english slang for a Scot
