Northumbrian burr
Uvular pronunciation of /r/ in rural far northeast England / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Northumbrian burr is the distinctive uvular pronunciation of R in the traditional dialects of Northumberland, Tyneside ('Geordie'), and northern County Durham, now remaining only among speakers of rural Northumberland, excluding Tyne and Wear. It is one of the few rhotic dialects left in England.[1]
