anyone liking quirky word-use might enjoy “god’s own country` by ross raisin.
mr raisin sprinkles his text with plenty of yorkshire words.
i don’t know if they’re real words used by yorkshire folk or whether he’s made them up.

i guess most or all of the yorkshire words are real.
in an epilogue mr raisin credits arnold kellett’s book – the yorkshire dictionary of dialect, tradition and folklore.
