What is the dialect that distinguishes British English from World English?
Yorkshire dialect The Yorkshire dialect (also Broad Yorkshire or Tyke) is a Northern English language variety spoken in England's historic county of Yorkshire. The dialect has roots in older languages such as Old English and Old Norse. The Yorkshire Dialect Society exists to promote use of the dialect in both humour and in serious linguistics; there is also an East Riding Dialect Society.
General American General American (abbreviated as GA or GenAm) is the umbrella variety of American English—the continuum of accents —commonly attributed to a majority of Americans and popularly perceived, among Americans, as lacking any distinctly regional, ethnic, or socioeconomic characteristics. The precise definition and usefulness of "General American" continues to be debated, and the scholars who use it today admittedly do so as a convenient basis for comparison rather than for exactness. Some scholars, despite controversy, prefer the term Standard American English.
