Yorkshire and Bradford accents are identical with northern vowel features in points 1, 3, 4(only many speakers pronounce words which have "ow", "ou" in spelling with [ɜu]: know [nɜu]; with northern consonant features in point 3.

Now having accomplished the description of regional non-RP accents of England we would like to say that we didn't attempt to give a detailed account of all the regional differences in ac­cents of remote rural areas. Rather we concentrated on urban ac­cents which can be heard when one travels throughout the country and which are most likely to be encountered by foreign tourists. Intonational features were not dealt with.
