Book excerpt: Excerpt from Glossaries of Words Used in Hetton-Le-Hole, Durham, in Lakeland, and in East Anglia Only two forms of speech are here described: (1) literary, conventional, or Queen's English; and (2) dialectal English, as spoken in the county of Durham. Let no reader, then, complain that I have inserted words not peculiar to Durham county, or even to the North of England, for South-country words may be found in this glossary. What I mean is that such words are used in Durham county, and are yet, so far as I know, not accepted in polite English. I have not gone into the intricate question of derivations, except in a few obvious cases, knowing how easy it is for a dabbler in etymology to lay himself open to the well-deserved ridicule of competent critics. The dialect differing little in vowel-pronunciation from the accepted speech, it has been thought unnecessary to overburden these pages with a phonetic rendering of each word. Where the glossic, however, is used, it is either to mark an unusual word where the pronunciation might be ambiguous, or as a typical example of other words of a like character. Where the word 'fine' occurs in the text, it means something more refined than the dialect pure and simple, introduced in the presence of one more highly educated than the speaker.
