. AUCKLAND
is the site of the Bishop of Durham's Place of residence, dating 1242. The origin of the name Auckland, which is shared with West Auckland & St Helen Auckland is obscure & its earliest recorded form being Alcleat, a Celtic word meaning cliff on the River Clyde. Alcleatland was interpreted by the Vikings as Auckland which means separate land. The place has sometimes been called oakland, because of the well wooded countryside.

. THE DIALECT & ACCENT OF THE LAND OF THE ANGLES:
One of the most distinctive & best known features of the North East is its famous dialect which is a very important feature of the region's heritage. It is still distinguished by its often musical tones & peculiar words that often originate from the ancient languages of Germanic & Scandinavian Europe. They were the Angles & Saxons, a fierce sea-roving pagan race originating from Angulus (now in southern Denmark) & Saxony (in northern Germany). Over the centuries the old Anglo Saxon language changed beyond recognition with the gradual introduction of Latin, Norman-French & other foreign influences.
The Anglo-Saxon `Northumbrian' dialects of North Eastern England take a number of forms which are often loosely termed `Geordie'. Distinctively Geordie & Northumbrian words are more than 80 % Angle in origin, compared to standard English, where the figure is less than 30 %. The dialects of the region take numerous forms such as the Geordie of Tyneside, the Northumbrian dialect, the Wearside dialect of Sunderland & parts of Durham & the south Durham & Teesisde dialects.
For example a Geordies calls ALD WIFE is a woman whether she is married or not is an 'Old Woman'. A Geordie may say Aaal Larn yer (meaning I'll teach you) which meant to teach you. Certain Geordies & Northumbrian Geordie words like Dede, Coo, Cloot, Hoot Wrang, Strang & Lang are in fact the original Anglo-Saxon pronunciations for Dead, Cow, Clout, House, Wrong, Strong & Long.
. The Bishop Auckland's accent seems to be closer to Darlington & similar to Teeside. Historically the Teeside area was separated from neighbouring regions, cut off by a strong natural wooded ravine area & the marsh flood plain of Sedgefield.
