Geordie dialect

The Geordie dialect is a regional variety of English spoken mainly in Newcastle and surrounding areas in northeastern England. It features distinct vocabulary, pronunciation, and expressions that reflect local history and culture. For example, Geordie speakers may use unique words like "howay" (come on or let's go) and have a recognizable accent with a melodic tone. While rooted in standard English, Geordie includes specific slang and grammatical patterns that distinguish it from other dialects. It is a proud regional identity, often associated with warmth, friendliness, and a sense of community.
