Talk:Potteries dialect

message: It would be informative to know the experts opinions of words such as:
wut = would'st thou?
cost = cans't thou?
conna = cans't thou not?
which seem to be contemporary versions of "Early Modern English" Shakespear/Bible type pharses

message: Hey there, now I'm just gonna come straight out with this. I was reading this and I really enjoyed it but found one slight teeny weeny thing that I wasn't sure that I agreed with. You know you said "ow" as in "cow"? Well, my way they say "oa" as in "toad" even though it's written as "cowd". :-/ What d'you reckon? If I had no education and no experience of what the hell I was on about, I wouldn't put this comment up but to give you a background of me (so that I'm not just some plonker with a big gob), I actually study Modern Languages at Uni and am completely FASCINATED with the local dialect!! It's fantastic!!

message: The bit about duck is utter nonsense.   The word will have nothing to do with "duke".   The Anglo-Saxon word is the same as the Latin dux, so I don't know where the "unclear" comes from, but it's irrelevant anyway, and this should all be deleted.
See http://www.oed.com/view/Entry/58178, which shows that the term of endearment is the same as the bird-name, and was used by Shakespeare.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.136.201.121 (talk) 13:18, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

message: Sadly the earlier concern about the dubious etymology of Duck/Duke has not yet been addressed.
Having said that, it is not the only word mistakenly claimed to be primarily part of a Potteries dialect. "Nesh" is another one, which to my own knowledge is used in other dialects of the region through North-West England in general. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:EA01:1090:A0BF:813A:FF02:B8DD (talk) 06:40, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
