What would you call someone who resides in the Yorkshire area of England? Is there a generally accepted term? Yorkshirian? Yorkshiran? Yorkie? 
If there’s really not a term used, let me know that too.
Thanks!
Miserable. Or, more seriously, a Yorkshireman. Or a Tyke. If you are talking about a man, that is. Tyke is much more colloquial, obviously.
Yorkshireman.

Sir
Yorkshirite/Yorkshireite, however you want to spell it.
I’ve heard Yorkie used, but I think it was intended to be derogatory. . .
Back in the day when I lived in the West Riding of Yorkshire (more than half a century) ago, it was “Yorkshireman”. (Or “Yorkshirewoman” if you were missing a Y chromosome).
Well, I wanted to describe the rouge elderly ‘Yorshireites’ who have misadventures in Last of the Summer Wine. I think I’ll just say Yorkshire villagers.
Thanks!
They are definitely Tykes.
We would be called tykes by foreigners (anyone living outside of Yorkshire), however, one thing that bewilders Americans is that differant areas of Yorkshire have their own names, accents can change markedly in only 10 miles, even less if you consider Pontefract and Castleford, only 4 miles apart but with differant ways of speaking…
You may need to specify whereabout in Yorkshire.
From Leeds, you’ll be a ‘Loiner’ - from Sheffield, you’ll be ‘dee-daa’ - from around Featherstone, you’d be a ‘flatcapper’.Those from Hull are often called ‘codhead’s’
If you live in Sheffield you may well call someone from nearby Barnsley a Dingle.
You would only use the term Yorkie for someone from York.
Donny for someone from Doncaster
Some local nickmanes are derived from the nicknames of local football clubs, Spireites are from Chesterfield

There’s a fair few nordic words used around some parts

I have cousins in Thirsk and Tad so don’t flame me 
Localised surnames, too. I’ve got a friend who has a name originating from the Yorkshire Dales - there’s only two entries for that name in my non-Yorkshire phone book, but in her parents’ north Leeds one there’s two pages.
This is completely fascinating. Dee-daa? Codhead? Wow!
As an aside, I love everyone from the Yorkshire Dales, based on having read James Herriot’s books 65,492 times when I was a girl.
Yorkshiremen, like these rather amusing fellows: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xe1a1wHxTyo
You mean these don’t you,
This is my favourite, Yorkshire Airlines
The Geoffrey Trueman studio if frghteningly accurate, the Look North studios were exactly like that during the 1970’s.
Which bring me to the old joke about time travel, its easy, but you can only go back 30 years, just come up to Yorkshire.
If you want to see other regions, they do sketches in other local variations, the Mancs are among the best.

Now that we’ve had some serious responses, my first thought was:
