The Survey of English Dialects took recordings from fourteen sites in Lancashire:
- Bickerstaffe, west Lancashire

- Coniston, modern south Cumbria
- Dolphinholme, near Lancaster
- Eccleston. There were two villages in south Lancashire named "Eccleston". The one in the survey is in modern-day Lancashire.
- Fleetwood
- Halewood, near Liverpool. Would usually be classified as Scouse rather than Lancastrian.
- Harwood, near Bolton
- Marshside, Southport
- Pilling, Fylde coast
- Read, near Burnley
- Ribchester, between Blackburn and Preston
- Thistleton, on the Fylde near Blackpool
- Yealand, near Lancaster

Famous quotes containing the words survey of, survey, english and/or dialect:
“By contrast with history, evolution is an unconscious process. Another, and perhaps a better way of putting it would be to say that evolution is a natural process, history a human one.... Insofar as we treat man as a part of nature—for instance in a biological survey of evolution—we are precisely not treating him as a historical being. As a historically developing being, he is set over against nature, both as a knower and as a doer.”
—Owen Barfield (b. 1898)
“When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.”
—Isaac Watts (1674–1748)
“I suggested to them also the great desirability of a general knowledge on the Island of the English language. They are under an English speaking government and are a part of the territory of an English speaking nation.... While I appreciated the desirability of maintaining their grasp on the Spanish language, the beauty of that language and the richness of its literature, that as a practical matter for them it was quite necessary to have a good comprehension of English.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“The eyes of men converse as much as their tongues, with the advantage that the ocular dialect needs no dictionary, but is understood all the world over.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
