Geordie dialect pronunciation and spelling of yourself, typical of the Tyneside accent of northeast England. Used in natural speech exactly where standard English would use yourself. Geordie retains a number of older English pronoun forms, and yersel is a well-documented example. Primarily spoken; rarely appears in formal writing.

A nonstandard or dialectal reflexive pronoun used in place of 'themselves,' common in AAVE (African American Vernacular English) and various regional dialects across the US and UK. It follows a consistent internal logic — paralleling 'myself,' 'yourself,' 'himself,' and 'herself' by using the subject pronoun form rather than the possessive. In AAVE in particular, it is a fully functional grammatical feature rather than an error, and appears in both spoken and written vernacular expression.
