(Yorkshire) Myself.
(Yorkshire, East Midlands) Yourself.
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.
