Highland Capital Posted April 20, 2019 Author Share Posted April 20, 2019 People who put on Scots and their Scottishness. This is particularly the case for people who go on protests with signs saying stuff like 'Trump Haud Yer Wheast' and all that nonsense. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eez-eh Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Is Scots actually a “language” or is it just English spoken with Scottish slang? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standard English is just badly pronounced Scots imo. Missed vowels and consonants all over the place, 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Is Scots actually a “language” or is it just English spoken with Scottish slang?Whether Scots is a dialect of English or vice versa is largely a matter of politicking. The closest we have to official English is received pronunciation (which has you pronouncing year, car and farmer with silent 'r's) and Cambridge English."One oughtn't to do that.""Ye shouldnae dae that."To me these are both dialects but we are taught that one is correct and one is incorrect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See also: folk from the Highlands who type in "central belt" (for want of a better description) accents - nobody in the Highlands says "naw" or "maw" of pronounces "I" as "ah". It's all about the #hashtagnumbers. Even worse is when they start speaking like it and throwing in "ken" and "but" at the end of sentences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the last year or so I've heard a few Invernesians refer to kids as 'weans'. That's not really a word we use here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Similar to the morons who pronounce 'th' as 'f'. Folk who think a 't' is pronounced 'k'. When did 'likkle' become a word? Just heard someone say "hospikal". Wtf?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
