Summary: "Lakeland Words" by Bryham Kirkby is a collection of dialect words and phrases written in the late 19th century. The book provides a rich glossary of linguistic terms as used in the Cumberland and Westmorland regions, accompanied by illustrative sentences in the local dialect. It showcases the unique expressions of the Lakeland dialect, preserving its authenticity and charm for future generations. The opening portion of the collection includes a preface by Professor Joseph Wright, emphasizing the importance of capturing regional dialects, particularly as they face extinction. Wright praises Kirkby for his intimate knowledge of the local language, highlighting that such dialects are not as scant as often alleged. The text then proceeds to list an array of dialect words, with definitions and example sentences that encapsulate the culture and everyday life of the Lakeland communities. This introductory excerpt sets the tone for an engaging exploration of linguistic heritage, appealing to readers interested in language, culture, and regional identity.
