Within the last century the line has moved northwards to the Tees. Traditional Northumbrian dialects (in the broadest sense of the word) are now essentially extinct in some Yorkshire areas where they were previously spoken, such as Kingston upon Hull or York, but may still be heard in northerly areas of Yorkshire, such as Stokesley. Northumbrian dialects are still spoken by younger speakers in Northumberland, Durham, and Cumberland, especially in areas around the Scottish Border.[4][5]
Phonetic description
Traditional Northern English dialects spoken north of the line, alongside the closely related Scots language, appear highly divergent and underwent markedly different paths of development from all other Anglic dialects. Primarily, differences in the development of early ME /uː/, early ME /oː/, and OE /ɑː/, the development of early ME short /o/ and short /e/ when subject to Open Syllable Lengthening, and the lengthening of OE short /u/ and /i/ before clusters of homorganic nasal plus stop, and the development of OE short /a/ before [ng] took radically different paths of development on either side of the line. Traditional Northern or Scots dialects, therefore, have Шаблон:Lang [kuː] for cow, Шаблон:Lang [grʊnd] for ground, Шаблон:Lang [ɹaŋ] for wrong, and Шаблон:Lang [sten] (Scots) or styen/steean [stɪən] (Northern) for stone.[6]
