yeah I'm a Geordie... born and bred in sunny newcastle upon tyne.. the accent is mild Geordie since I had to tone it down when I came to the US since no one understood me.. the reason it sounds like scottish/irish is this.
quote
"Geordie arguably derives much less influence from Old French and Latin than does Standard English, being substantially Angle tribe and Danish Vikings in origin. The accent and pronunciation, as in Lowland Scots known as "Inglis", reflect more clearly old Angle pronunciations, accents and usages. There are also some pre-Anglo Saxon Brythonic influences as well. "
anyways here some info if yer interested.
