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.
Trap-bath split The split is a vowel split that occurs mainly in some southern and mainstream varieties of English in England (including Received Pronunciation), in the Southern Hemisphere accents of English (Australian English, New Zealand English, South African English), and also to a lesser extent in older Boston English, by which the Early Modern English phoneme /æ/ was lengthened in certain environments and ultimately merged with the long /ɑː/ of "father". (Wells 1982: 100–1, 134, 232–33) Similar changes took place in words with ; see "lot–cloth" split.
