Well that aside
If anyone has the time or the interest, take a look at the Geordie Dictionary at the following link and see examples of the same words:
http://www.northeast...eDictionary.htm
One question - in Geordie braces (i.e. ones that hold your trousers up) is galluses in Geordie, what is it in Doric?

Compared with other parts of spain is even worse but i have not to goo far away, People from toon of A Coruña call gallo to the witches while i call gallo to the megs so sometimes is littlebit difficult, but with other parts is even worse.
Is that an on recognices lenguage like we have here? In our Countys we have an own recognized lenguage as the spanish and is official (money waste in my point of view)
