[edit] Teesside
What is the dialect spoken in Teesside. I cannot see it mentioned. Computerjoe's talk 19:43, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think there's a specific term for the Teesside dialect, like there is for Tyneside or Wearside. The following link has an interesting discussion on the subject, however - http://www.thenortheast.fsnet.co.uk/Conversation.htm CharlieT 13:22, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
There are a few local terms for the Teesside accent but the most common around the area is smoggie and to a lesser extent Tees-speak. The accent and dialect should really be given recognition as the Teesside accent cannot be grouped into either Yorkshire, Tyneside, Wearside nor Durham. It is a cross breed of the latter 4 with a bit of scouse thrown in for good measure (Middlesbrough having the 2nd largest amount of Irish migrant workers after Liverpool!).

[edit] Just dialects?
'Northern English' should also refer to the people and not just our dialects, any thoughts on this ? Gazh 11:51, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
