117 sites in Cumbria include Carlisle Castle, Furness Abbey and Ha- drian's Wall. /http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumbria/ Geordie (/ ˈ d ʒɔ rdi/) is both a regional nickname for a per- son from the larger Tyneside region of North East England, and the name of the English-language dialect spoken by its inhabi- tants. Depending on who is using it, the catchment area for the term "Geordie" can be as large as the whole of North East Eng- land, or as small as the city of Newcastle upon Tyne. In most aspects, Geordie speech is a direct continuation and development of the language spoken by the Anglo-Saxon settlers of this region. They were mercenaries employed by the ancient Brythons to fight the Pictish invaders after the end of Roman rule in Britannia in the 5th century; the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes who thus arrived became, over time, ascendant politi- cally and – through population transfer from tribal homelands in northern Europe – culturally over the native British. The Anglo-Saxon kingdoms that emerged during the Dark Ages spoke largely mutually intelligible varieties of what is now called Old English, each varying somewhat in phonology, mor- phology, syntax, and lexicon. This Anglo-Saxon influence on Geordie can be seen today, to the extent that poems by the Anglo-Saxon scholar the Vener- able Bede translate more successfully into Geordie than into modern English. Thus, in northern England, dominated by the kingdom of Northumbria, was found a distinct "Northumbrian" Old English dialect. In recent times, "Geordie" has been used to refer to a sup- porter of Newcastle United football club, despite many Geordies supporting other local teams, and the Newcastle Brown Ale schooner glassware used to serve beer in the United States. /http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geordie/ жүктеу/скачать 2,94 Mb.
