Review: Interesting Durham dialect - Great book for makums
Review: Wor Language - Pitmatic: The Talk of the North East Coalfield (Wor Language) Bill Griffiths is the undisputed authority on north-east dialects and this book shows his thorough and academic approach to his subject. This is far more than a dictionary of pit language: it is a complete history of the way miners talked both at work and socially. It is as much sociology as linguistics and a most facinating record of a way of life recently gone. Bill Griffiths deserves thanks for preserving this.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very interesting but a few issues
*by J***N on 6 December 2018*

I am with a band called Pitmatics so I bought this to get some background learn the lingo. I like the stories and the insights into the Pitmatic dialect. Well researched and easy read. Issues: the subediting leaves something to be desired - peppered with spelling mistakes. And I would have liked to see an index of the Pitmatic terms in the book, as well as having them scattered through the sections; if you are looking for a word its hard to find it. Otherwise interesting book and I've got a couple of ideas for songs from it!
