Salfordian
A native of the Lancastrian City of Salford, situated in North West England; A geographical neighbour of the Mancunian (native of the City of Manchester, situated to the east of Salford), and also in close proximity to the "Yonners" of Wigan and Bolton.
In terms of dialect, the Salfordian speaks a tongue sounding somewhere between a north Mancunian (the blunt delivery), a Scouser (the elongated lisp sound), and a native of Leicester (the flat "Ohr" sound at the end of words, instead of an "er" sound).
Culturally, they are proudly seperate of Manchester, and are often given to a clannish "us and them" mentality, with regard to their Mancunian neighbours; In this respect, it could be viewed that they suffer from a collective form of inferiority complex (rather akin to their fellow Lancastrians - the Scousers of Liverpool).
Salford has long had an appetite for Rugby League (unlike Manchester), and the city has it's own club: Salford City Reds, who are pants. It's for this reason Salfordians like to latch-on and attach themselves to the far superior sporting phenomenon that is Manchester United FC, situated outside their beloved city border. The painter LS. Lowry was in fact a Mancunian by birth, and was born in Rusholme, south Manchester - not Salford. Anthony H. Wilson, on the other hand, despite his fawning appreciation of ALL things Mancunian, was born a Salfordian.
In summary: The Salfordian is a sorry figure who lives in the shadow of a much more successful, cosmopolitan, and modern, European cultural hotbed, namely: Manchester; Is prone to a siege mentality, an arrogance born of a distorted self image, strongly criminal and anti-social tendencies, a cliquey inward looking ghetto mindset, a lack of taste in clothing, a ridiculously perverse sense of 'street cred' born of miserliness (they'll miss a bargain, cos: "That's a rip off. Only a mug would pay that.... My mate can get 'em cheaper, etc).
Unless you're one of their own: The Salfordian can NEVER be trusted under any circumstances. They are far more dodgy than Scousers!

Try getting a taxi to take you to Langworthy or Weaste after 10.00pm at night.......no chance, the pre-pubescent Salfordian urchins will torch it!
