Stumbled on two celebrations of traditional local dialects in the North West this weekend, the first in Wigan (close to St Helens, but I’d have transcribed some words differently in my accent) #linguisticlandscape #linguistics #regionalisms 1/2

And a more permanent feature celebrating the local dialect of Bolton. Thanks for showing me MHC #linguisticlandscape #linguistics #regionalisms 2/2
