great vowel shift

The first step in the Great Vowel Shift in Northern and Southern English is shown in the table below. The Northern English developments of Middle English /iː, eː/ and /oː, uː/ were different from Southern English. In particular, the Northern English vowels /iː/ in bite, /eː/ in feet, and /oː/ in boot shifted, while the vowel /uː/ in house did not.

These developments below fall under the label "older" to refer to Scots and a more conservative and increasingly rural Northern sound,[18] while "younger" refers to a more mainstream Northern sound largely emerging just since the twentieth century.
