Cumbrian Dialect
Cumbria has been the home to many peoples, and most have left their
mark on the local languages and dialects. Of course, a lot of the lingo
comes from Old English, but the Romans, the Picts and the Celts, along
with the Vikings, have all had an influence on the words you may hear
in this beautiful corner of England.
To help you in your prospective travels in the Lake District we have
compiled a phrase book and dictionary of Lakeland lingo. If you would
