The dialect of English spoken in Hull, Yorkshire. — Ungoliant (falai) 18:15, 27 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

I've added two citations to the entry. Here's another, although I'm not sure it's the right sense:
  • 1940 March 25, John K Jessup, Spruille Braden, in Life:
    In his own bailiwick of Latin-American relations, Spruille Braden arose like the answer to this prayer. Nobody had to ask twice where he stood. No Hullish circumlocutions, no Byrnesian juggling for him.
We're missing a word hullish (not all of the Google Books hits are scannos). - -sche (discuss) 06:55, 28 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
The 2012 citation is easily interpreted as a more general adjective "of or pertaining to Hull", as is the Batty citation I just added. - -sche (discuss) 07:00, 28 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
Cited, possibly: the 2002 citation is referring to Hullish as the language that Hull would speak if it became an independent nation-state, but I suppose it still counts. - -sche (discuss) 22:58, 30 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
