The Northumbrian language has been spoken in the North East of England for over 1500 years. It incorporates all the dialects of the region (Northumbria), including the Geordie dialect of Newcastle and Tyneside - one of the most famous and recognisable British dialects.
Northumbrian however is more than just a collection of English dialects. It is a language itself, and although there is no official recognition from the British government, the European Bureau of Lesser Used Languages (EBLUL) do recognise Northumbrian.
Northumbrian is from the Germanic branch of Indo-European languages. It shares much in common with modern English, but much of its structure and language was found in old and middle English, that have now been lost in modern English. It is also very close to the Ulster-Scots/Scots language spoken in Scotland and Northern Ireland. This stems from when the Kingdom of Northumbria stretched up into Scotland, while much of Northumbria, including Newcastle have at times been a part of Scotland.
Other influences on Northumbrian include Gaelic as Northumbria was a part Celtic/part Angle kingdom before its annexation by Anglo-Saxon England - And also partly to it's close proximity to Scotland, and the huge number of Irish and Scottish immigrants into Tyneside in the 19th and 20th centuries. French, Dutch and German also have their influences, but perhaps the strongest of these other influences are the Norse languages of Norwegian and Danish.
Even now, Northumbria has strong links with Scandinavia, and share many of the same or similar words, meanings and pronunciations.
