Awd Northumbrian (Awd English: Norðanhymbrisċ) wes spoken i the Kingdom o Northumbria (frae the Humber on the east coast o Northren England te the Firth o Forth i the Scots Lawlans). The Viking invasion ov Ingland dyel'd Northumbria inte twe pairts: the pairt sooth o the Tees at wes settled bi Scandinavians an becam the Kingdom o York, the pairt te the sooth o the river remained iv Anglian hands, an wes ruled bi the Yarls o Bamburgh wi the lands frae the Wear valley te the Tyne hadden bi the Community o St Cuthbert.
