Consonants

 in SING

This phoneme is not part of the inventory of dialects in the south-western corner of the North as here defined, i.e. from Liverpool and South Lancashire as far across as Sheffield. Here,  is only ever pronounced before a velar consonant, e.g. in singing  . Thus  in these varieties is an allophonic variant of /n/. Speakers in other parts of the North would often have  for the bound morpheme -ing, but would have  elsewhere, thus singing would be  . In the areas which retain the velar nasal plus pronunciation,  occurs as a less careful, stigmatized variant, whilst  is perceived as correct, almost certainly because of the spelling. The  pronunciation was not perceived as incorrect until the later 18th century, when it began to be proscribed in pronouncing dictionaries. John Rice in his Introduction to the Art of Reading with Energy and Propriety (1765) writes that whilst /in/ is “taught in many of Our Grammars” it is “a viscious and indistinct Method of Pronunciation, and ought to be avoided”. However, well into the 20th century, this pronunciation was also perceived to be stereotypical of the English aristocracy, whose favorite pastimes were huntin’, shootin’ and fishin’. In the words something and anything, a variant pronunciation  is heard throughout the North, though in the North-east, the nasal may be dropped altogether to give . These words are not used in traditional northern dialects, where the equivalents would be summat and nowt, so the  pronunciation here is perhaps hypercorrect.
