Loss Of The Yorkshire Dialect (EDM1848)

Loss Of The Yorkshire Dialect

EDM number 1848 in 2006-07, proposed by Jeff Ennis on 04/07/2007.

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.

This motion has been signed by a total of 29 MPs.
