Yorkshire is the largest traditional county of England, covering some 6,000 sq. mi. (15,000 km²) with a population of some five million. It is traditonally divided into West, North and East Ridings (from Old Norse žrišing, "third part", a legacy of the area's ninth century Scandinavian settlers). The county town, York, was not part of any riding. Much of Yorkshire is now represented by the region of Yorkshire and the Humber. The emblem of Yorkshire is the White Rose of the House of York, and there is a Yorkshire Day: August 1. There is also an "anthem" for the county in the form of the folk song "On Ilkla Moor Baht'at". The Yorkshire dialect is colloquially known as "Tyke", and this is also the affectionate term for a Yorkshireman. The social stereotype of a Yorkshireman has a tendency to include such accessories as a flat cap and a whippet. Among Yorkshire's unique traditions is the Long Sword dance, a traditional dance not found elsewhere in England. |
