GLOSSARY OF NORFOLK WORDS
I
HAVE TAKEN a selection of Norfolk
words that have been around for a good many years, although,
due to the limitations of space, it has been possible to include
only a small part of our vocabulary of dialect words.
However,
that shouldn’t matter much to you if you're a ‘local’
of course, as you’ll know most of them already, won’t
you? But if you are new to these parts (a furriner
perhaps) then you should find the following pages quite useful.
So,
now’s your chance to ‘larn them orf b’ haart’!
Then, not only could you start to sound a bit more
like a local, but you should begin to understand us as well!
After
all, you wouldn’t dream of venturing into ‘furrin’
parts without learning a smattering of French, German or Spanish,
would you?
So,
there you have it my ol’ bewties, click the link to A–D
and do you get started!
