Geordie

Geordie (/ˈdʒɔːrdi/ JOR-dee), sometimes known in linguistics as Tyneside English or Newcastle English, is an English dialect and accent spoken in the Tyneside area of North East England. It developed as a variety of the old Northumbrian dialect and became especially connected with the city of Newcastle upon Tyne. Geordie is also a nickname for a resident of this same region, though there are different definitions of what constitutes a Geordie, and not everyone from the North East identifies as such. Furthermore, a Geordie can mean a supporter of the football club Newcastle United. Geordie Schooner glass was traditionally used to serve Newcastle Brown Ale.

The Geordie dialect and identity are primarily associated with a working-class background. It is often considered unintelligible to many other native English speakers. A 2008 newspaper survey found the Geordie accent to be perceived as the "most attractive in England" among the British public.
