A corpus study of Late Modern English texts from or set in Northern England found "lad" ("boy" or "young man") and "lass" ("girl" or "young woman") were the most widespread "pan-Northern" dialect terms. Other terms in the top ten included a set of three indefinite pronouns "owt" ("anything"), "nowt" ("naught" or "nothing") and "summat" ("something"), the Anglo-Scottish "bairn", "bonny" and "gang", and "sel"/"sen" ("self") and "mun" ("must"). Regional dialects within Northern England also had many unique terms, and "canny" ("clever") and "nobbut" ("nothing but") were both common in the corpus, despite being limited to the North East and to the North West and Yorkshire respectively.
