In local dialect, Salhouse may be pronounced "Sayllus", "Sallus/Sallers" or "Sallas". Professor Trudgill argues: "The house in Salhouse has nothing to do with a house. The way we spell Salhouse today is due to what linguists call 'folk etymology'. People have a tendency to try and make sense of words which do not make sense ... The spelling of Salhouse came about because people no longer understood the original name, which was Sallows. Sallow was the ancient name for a kind of willow tree, so Sallows just mean 'place with willow trees'... When Sallows no longer meant anything to people, writing the second part of the word as house made it sound a bit more transparent. But nowadays something else is happening. Because of the spelling, some people are even beginning to pronounce the name like that too: 'Sal-house'. That is not the right way to say it: it should be 'Sallas'."
