Sorry to say this but; Geordie / Scouse / Yorkshire etc are accents. Not another language. If you can't say "where are the children" properly don't pretend to be Danish.

Apparently, the vikings settled in Yorkshire and that is where a lot of the Yorkshire language comes from. Is that correct?

My dad also told me that the US nearly adopted German as their language rather than English, so I am a bit sceptical...
Yorkshireish: He took her up to the Moors

Ingerlish: He penetrated her anally.............

Back to topic - last year we ventured out to Bab Al Shams........... stunning night. They had everything set out on the rooftop, and the best (without exaggeration) firework display I have ever seen erupted at midnight. Good food - good balance between Arabic and Western - and we amused ourselves watching some local families wearing some very silly party hats ..........

The fireworks - one of them exploded into a multi-coloured waterfall which seemed to go on for ages........ and that description doesn't even begin to do it justice............

One thing is for sure. That is not Danish!
