I've been having conversations with a friend in Denmark about the the origins of Yorkshire and Lancashire dialect terms that have close parallels in modern Scandanavian languages. This is well known in lowland scots but there seems very little on 'Danelaw' dialects.
Can anyone recommend a dictionary of dialects that gives origins as opposed to touristy (how to speak lanky) publications. I've drawn a blank mostly.
Some examples:
English / Dialect / Danish
Bridge / Broo / Bro She / Hoo / Hun (pron Hoon) Child / Barn / Barn Barn / Laithe / Lade Pig / Grease /Gris Lie (down) / Lig / Ligge Play /Lake / Lake Burn / Swither / Swide (archaic) Stream / Beck / Beck Scream / Skrike / Skrike Church / Kirk / Kirke
Some obvious ones don't even appear as Danish in the Oxford dictionary (well, my copy) - e.g. Skullduggery - the Danish for 'guilt' is Skyldig -> Skyldigeri -> shurely shome shimilarity?
