Here are some links about a variety of dialects of English:
- Recording Highland Scots Cromarty fisher dialect (20 short audio interviews of octogenarians Bobby and Gordon Hogg)
- Compiling a Yorkshire dictionary (including the terms attercop, ettle, and pafalled)
- Revising a Canadian dictionary (lengthy article, including laying claim to the terms Generation X, insulin, and possibly light bulb)
- Remembering American old-time diner slang (heralddemocrat.com/articles/2006/12/06/local_news/news13.txt) [EDIT (6/6/10: dead link] (not really a dialect but amusing, including the terms nervous pudding, put a hat on it, and dough well done with cow to cover)
