How do you pronounce ‘owt’
 
do you pronounce it

‘oat’

or

‘out’

Spoiler:

what the way you pronounce it says about you ;
Spoiler:

it has been said those going for oat are from Yorkshire (even though I am further south than yorkshire) , whilst those going with out are from further north

It wouldn't be a word I used as I'm not from any of those areas that use it but I would have thought it was pronounced "out"

You will notice they use oat in emmerdale (which I think is Yorkshire) but out in Corrie which is obviously manchester area

Edit; Emmerdale is filmed near Leeds

Not a word I use but if I did I would say ‘out’

It’s not a word that features in my twang anyhow but “out” it is. Anything else just sounds bizarrely niche.

smudgie 19-01-2022 09:50 AM
Owt or nowt as in something or nothing.
Nothing to do with out as in going out.:laugh:

I'm pretty sure everyone knows that, "out" was just the pronunciation :laugh:
