Mancunian Dialect

[Txiki Vimto]

Most of the people on this board are mancunians (including myself) so lets introduce our overseas blues to our way of speaking.

e.g.

1: ey up duck/chuck (also, alright mate) = hello

Ey up duck? What part of Manchester are you from?

That was my first thought, sounds Stokey to me.



Are y' right or what?

I've never heard mither used anywhere else aside from the North West.

I let one of the Lads from work lend Awaydays from me and he said he had to put the subtitles on because he couldn't understand what the Birkenhead massive were saying most of the time.
