Yes, though not so much as - say - 50 years ago, it is dying out, though there are some who fall back into the use of broad Yorkshire when angry.

I still get confuddled over questions which I would once have answered with 'nay' or 'yea' - such questions as 'Isn't that her?'

Instead of 'nay tis not' I would say 'yes, it isn't' or to say 'yea that's her' would try 'no, that IS her'
