Biography

Geordie ( JOR-dee) is a demonym and vernacular dialect characterising Newcastle upon Tyne and the wider Tyneside area of North East England. The vernacular, also known as Tyneside English or Newcastle English in linguistics, is one of the major dialects of northern England. It developed as a variety of the old Northumbrian dialect. As a regional nickname, applying the term is set by one's definition of or acceptance to being called a Geordie: it varies from supporters of Newcastle United Football Club, the city, Tyneside, Tyne and Wear and to North East England. People from the latter two wider areas are less likely to accept the term as applying to them. The Geordie dialect is often considered unintelligible to many other native English speakers. The Geordie dialect and identity are perceived as the "most attractive in England", according to a 2008 newspaper survey, amongst the British public and as working-class.
