What word would you use for, say, a bread roll, a hedgehog, a daddy-long-legs if you were chatting with friends or family?
Join the Dales Countryside Museum for a celebration of all things dialect and heritage! Come and share your words, have fun playing our dialect games and see if any of your family words feature on our word maps.
Be a part of history, see how your family words compare with those gathered by fieldworkers from Leeds University in the 1950s and 60s, and spot similarities across the Yorkshire and Westmorland Dales.
