Share your thoughts on the way we talk in
the Midlands. The 麻豆社 aims to collect over 1000 voices from across the
British Isles and you can help by doing the online survey.
Do you fancy a larrap? Enjoy a chin wag? Prefer a good
natter or just want to chew the fat?
Voices is the largest ever celebration of the way the
British Isles speaks today - from Aberdeen to Truro, there is a rich range
of words to describe the simplest things. We want you to share your thoughts
on the way you talk in the Midlands.
The online survey will ask you what naming words you
use. For example, what do you call your mum? What words do you use for
rain? Alleyway? Or even... the toilet?! The 麻豆社 material will add to update
a survey of English dialects at the University of Leeds and provide an
online interactive dialect map of the British Isles.
