Pitmatic
Pitmatic, is a dialect of
English used in the county of
Northumberland. It developed as a separate dialect from
Northumbrian and
Geordie due to the specialised terms mineworkers used. An example of this is the word 'Cuddy'. In
Northumberland and
Tyne and Wear this term is an abbreviation of the name
Cuthbert, but in Pitmatic, as in
Scots, it denotes a horse, specifically a pit pony.
