Line 37:
* In some areas, an originally voiced consonant followed by a voiceless one can be pronounced as voiceless. For example, ''Bradford'' may be pronounced {{IPA|[bɹatfəd]}}, with {{IPA|[t]}} instead of the expected {{IPA|[d]}}. {{ref|YorksAssimilation}}
* The replacing of a {{IPA|/t/}} with an {{IPA|/r/}}, e.g. "I'm gerring berrer" for "I'm getting better", "gerrof!" for "Get off!", "Purrit dahn" for "Put it down".
* In [[Sheffield]], pronunciation of ''th'' in some words, including the second person pronouns ''thee'' and ''thou'', as {{IPA|[d]}} is common, leading to the nickname "dee dahs" (cf. "thee tha") for locals and countless jokes about ambulance sirens.
