Yorkshire Accents

Yorkshire Accent

Yorkshire is the largest county in the UK in the north of England. The accent is sometimes known as Broad Yorkshire or Tyke, and is often considered a country accent, but because the area is so large, there can be variation, such as in cities like Bradford and Leeds - but there are a lot of shared elements.
