English of Northumbria

Ok kiddo, so a really long time ago, there was a group of people who lived in a place called Northumbria. They spoke a language called Old English, which is different from the English we speak today.

The English of Northumbria was a little different from the Old English spoken in other parts of England. They had some special words that they used, and their pronunciation was a bit different too.

One of the most famous examples of English of Northumbria is a poem called Beowulf, which was written down over a thousand years ago. People still read and study this poem today, even though it's really old and in a different language.

So, when we talk about the English of Northumbria, we're talking about the way people in that part of England spoke and wrote a really long time ago. It's kinda like a secret code that only a few people can understand nowadays!
