"

Several words and phrases are local to the Lake District and are part of the Cumbrian dialect, though many are shared by other northern dialects. These include:

  • Tarn – a word that has been taken to mean a small lake situated in a corrie (the local name for which is cove or comb), a local phrase for any small pool of water. The word is derived from the Old Norse, Norwegian and Swedish word tjern/tjärn, meaning small lake.
  • Yan tan tethera – the name for a system of sheep counting which was traditionally used in the Lake District. Though now rare, it is still used by some[citation needed] and taught in local schools.
  • Heaf (a variant of heft) – the "home territory" of a flock of sheep
