['Ryan Starkey']

Darker colours show where a term dominates, lighter colours show where it is common but a mixture of terms are also common. For children “mummy” is also very common, although in adults it is more localised to Ireland, and the wealthier areas of southeast England. “Ma” is most common in eastern and north-eastern Ireland, while “maw” is common across the Central Belt of Scotland.
