Research on the Newcastle 'Geordie' accent.

The Newcastle 'Geordie' accent is an accent that is commonly spoken in the North East of England.

"In most aspects Geordie speech is a direct continuation and development of the language spoken by the Anglo-Saxon settlers of this region."

"This Anglo-Saxon influence on Geordie can be seen today, to the extent that poems by the Anglo-Saxon scholar the Venerable Bede translates more successfully into Geordie than into modern day English. Thus, in northern England, dominated by the kingdom of Northumbria, was found a distinct "Northumbrian" Old English dialect."

The Newcastle accent is generally spoken in:  

North Tyneside, Newcastle, South Tyneside and Gateshead.
