Speak In Nottingham To Me - A Beginner's Guide To Nottingham's Dialect
In have-a-go, love-local, featured

Language is certainly one of our best creations. Without it, it would be difficult for us to coexist, establish communities and share feelings. Language makes it all easier and helps us work together and understand one another. Throughout history people always felt the need to find one universal language for all. Several attempts were made to popularise different languages and make them used globally, with Latin being one of the first languages widely-spread across Europe. Back then Latin was a language of science, literature, law, and administration. It was also used in churches, and most books were written in Latin as well. Then there was the time of French and Spanish, during the colonisation period. French then took over and it became the official language of diplomacy until World War II, when English replaced it as the lingua franca ever since.

Een though in the 21st century English is the dominant language, its local dialects never cease to surprise, fascinate and challenge not only the speakers of English as a second language but also natives who at times also struggle to understand the local talk. As a linguist I'm always on a quest to help people communicate better, and learn more about languages and local dialects. And in an attempt to do just that I've put together a list of words and phrases for all of you out there who would like to know more about 'Nottinghamese'.
