LOSS OF THE YORKSHIRE DIALECT

Tabled by Jeff Ennis (Labour) 29 signatures

The motion

That this House is concerned at the recently published research indicating that words are disappearing from the Yorkshire dialect because of the influence of the internet, social mobility and globalisation; and furthermore supports the work of the Yorkshire Dialect Society in continuing to promote what is, after all, the best English regional accent in the world.
