Excerpt from The Vowel-Sounds of the East Yorkshire Folk-Speech In the third place we have the well-known aft-sound, the foreign a, which is heard in the dialect most perfectly in the personal pronoun I (aft), which is the same form of that pronoun as is heard in the dialect of West Jutland. It is rather a remarkable fact that this sound is heard for the most part, not in words which in ordinary English are spelt with the letter a, but in those which are Spelt with an i thus, for example, bide, time, side, rive, with many more like them, become on York shire tongues baizd, talzm, sa/zd, rain/e. It is, moreover, curious that many words spelt with a, and in Southern England pronounced with the aft-sound, in Yorkshire take quite a different, and much less open vowel-sound. For instance, grass, fast, last, which in Southern Eng land would be sounded g'rafzss, fakst, lakst, with us would be grass, fast, last, the vowel here having the same sound as in sand. It may be added that the sounding of such words as those last named is common with all classes of Yorkshiremen.
