A number of volumes purport to explain the particular features of dialects found in the two counties of Norfolk and Suffolk. Of the two, the Norfolk dialect is perhaps the most well known, and often mimicked wrongly by those that believe it is just a matter in intonation or the use of a particular vocabulary.

The Norfolk Dialect looks at the linguist history of the county stretching back to pre-Roman times, the influence of the Saxon and Viking invasions, and the creation of a distinct dialect within the new English language that emerged. It examines and illustrates the differences and similarities with the Suffolk dialect demonstrating that such relationships are caused by not only geographical proximity but also inaccessible divisions that pass through regions such as the Fens.

The book discusses the development of dialect's vocabulary and grammar, how its origins follow similar patterns with other dialects spoken throughout England and the origins of place-names and their pronunciation.

Above all, the book shows that the Norfolk dialect is a version of the English language with its own fascinating history, unique structure and form that is worthy of respect and understanding, and, as such, needs to be maintained and cherished rather than lost to future generations.
