I meant it to read as if spoken by broad Northumbrian/Geordie.

Mea Culpa, and FTR I did not downvote you. In the US, individuals speaking with these dialects face discrimination and I wonder if it is the same among select speakers in the UK?

I don't experience it personally. Though I believe there can be a tendency for people to look down on northerners, the closer you get to London.

Don't worry about it! I only meant it as tongue-in-cheek response and didn't wish to upset.

It's Newcastle/Northumbrian in the UK, and it's not inaccurate at all.

Funny, I thought it was a phonetic transcription of Scottish dialect (whence are derived many Appalachian speech patterns, of course).

Touching on Scottish, but Northumbrian. I'm not that "broad" really, though.

Ah yes I've read that Appalacian pronunciation, dialect, and to a lesser extent grammar is still relatively faithful to some UK dialects. Fascinating that a literal phonetic transcription was potentially ambiguous.
