Six ways to divide England *linguistically*

by @starkeycomics

This infographic titled “Six ways to divide England linguistically” presents six distinct maps of England, each illustrating a different regional linguistic variation through color-coded regions and corresponding legends, beginning with the term used for evening meal—red for “Tea,” blue for “Dinner,” and yellow for “Supper”—followed by the playground game played at school, where yellow represents “Tig,” light blue “Tag,” red “Tick,” orange “Tiggy,” and dark blue “Tap”; the third map shows regional terms for a medium-sized lump of bread, using green for “Bun,” red for “Roll,” brown for “Muffin,” blue for “Bap,” yellow for “Cob,” orange for “Teacake,” and light blue for “Barm”; the fourth map explores whether “scone” rhymes with “gone” (green), “probably gone” (light green), or “alone” (orange); the fifth examines whether “put” and “but” share the same vowel sound, with blue indicating they rhyme and green indicating they do not; and the sixth depicts the most spoken language across regions, with blue for English and orange for areas where Old English is mixed with Scots and Viking influences; each map uses clear color coding and simple labels to highlight how everyday vocabulary and pronunciation vary across England’s geography, and the image credits @samesamebutdifferentblog and @starkeycomics.
