Nottingham As It Is Spoke Volume One by John Beeton

Description

This examines the dialect of the East Midlands, encompassing the towns of Nottingham, Leicester and Mansfield, which for the purpose of identification is known as Nottinghamese. The author argues that it is not form of slang that has developed out of a lazy way of speaking, but a complete language with unique words and a strict grammatical pattern. Examples of these words and phrases with their English meaning are listed.18pp
