4. Couldn't agree more with you, very proud of this country and the unique identity our people certainly have :) our accent and dialect is something to be embraced upon rather than looked down upon :)
5. I love bein scottish it geis us oor ain accent like the American accent or suhin like that if ye ken wit a mean!
6. Quality :) am not fantastic with accents, but there's that many abroad I find interesting and that's perhaps cause it's a whole different world. But one thing understanding Scottish dialect would definitely help you with, is understanding what a lot of Scots say, or at the very least common stuff :)
7. I know, but to me Scottish is just so amazing and Interesting. I am from Bosnia and the regular Bosnia accent and Sarajevo accent are so different, Sarajevo accent is kinda like Brooklyn accent you know.. anyway, thanks lad im learning Scottish right now lad :D
8. lol cheers buddy, although to me, its your every day nothingness, which is why I find foreign accents fascinating to me lol
9. Scottish accent is fucking amazing!
10. Indeed, it's where a lot of our ancesters had moved and settled to, obviously first in Northern Ireland and then across to the Appalachian Mountains. One of the similarities will be how the Appalachian people speak joined up, which is exactly how we speak.
11. Many of the things you are saying are found in southern appalachian dialects. Futher proof of where the accent comes from. Great Stuff!
12. LOL that has to be one of the most random funny comments I've had lol xD and thanks lol :D
13. This is ear porn. Just saying...
14. @andy86i
15. Thanks buddy :) and aye I enjoy making video and vlogging, and aye, would be good if there were more open minded individuals, you know what people can be like though.
16. you got a great channel here, we need more open minded and awake people in the world. I might do a bit of v-logging too sometime. :)
17. I can't say I have heard of it, but I wouldn't be surprised if others may have. I could imagine if they lived in that part of land, they would have been a well hard fought people, I've seen history on that before. A lot of the Scottish borderers were bribed off the land and made to fight for Northern Ireland, and of course that's how they ended u in America. But aye even after the 1600's the borderers had kept on fighting, that's where the pillaging comes from :)
18. Have you or anyone else up there heard of the border reivers? my family (Crozier) was a part of that. there are still a lot of Crozier's in Scotland, I hear its a fairly common name in parts..? The rievers lived on the border of England and Scotland between 1200-1600 and took advantage of the constant warring- pillaging and the like. to my understanding the word "bereaved" originated from the aftermath of their work. after all of that ended my lot moved down and got a farm.. not as exciting.
19. I can understand what you mean about that last part, I find that rather odd, yet Mexican's speak Spanish as their first language, how odd is that? But aye, whether to do with your family having moved down from 1700's or not, you tend to find certain northern parts of England speak some similar dialect to us, like 'aye' tends to be very common. I think the 'Fook' for the swearing derives from something Irish though, you never know really.
20. I'm from NE England, we use one or two of these.. we say "gis" (gis it here). my grandfather was scottish, the rest of my family only moved down to northumberland in the 1700s.. ish. Interestingly my girlfriend is Mexican, and though i first started trying to talk proper English a little more, she understand 99.5 of everything I say. same cant be said for when I went to America :/
21. This is great. We are looking for YouTube ambassadors to talk about 'We are Northern lights', and you could be awarded £750 for being the best one. Could you make a video blog about our project and what you think of it? Contact us at hello(at)wearenorthernlights(dot)com to find out more - we would love to have you on board. Cheers
22. Quality :) am guessing you're from up north bud?
23. where im from we use "fit" for "what" as in fit deee ye think yer dee in
24. Hi :) I'm just in the process of saving my part 5 Ben Nevis video, but aye, am glad you liked Glasgow, as for our accent? lol I see it as just every day meaningless same auld accent, but love other accents, whether be up north, east coast of Scotland or down south or abroad :)
25. When I went to Glasgow on Friday, I fell in love with the accent. I've played this video over and over again... I love it!

How To Speak - Scottish Accent Video Glaswegian Part 1

http://thescotandscotland.wordpress.com/2012/01/09/scottish-accent-glaswegian-translation-part-1/ I have noticed a lot of people impersonate the Scottish accent or a lot of people that do not understand a word we are saying, purely because the Scottish dialect is very different and that our Scottish accent can come across quite strong that it may confuse people. So I came up with these serious of videos to help people better understand the Scottish accent and dialect There are various different Scottish dialects up and down the country, from Aberdeen, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee and various other parts of Scotland like Ayrshire. The Scottish accent varies from place to place you visit in Scotland as we don't all talk the same way. You will find despite Glasgow being one hour train distance from Edinburgh, the difference in both accent's is pretty strong. There are certain words they perhaps may use that we Glaswegian people use different terminology, an example would be that Glaswegians say wean of a child, whereas Edinburgh, they say Bairn. Same applies for both Dundee and Aberdeen. You will however find that there is a common Scottish dialect throughout Scotland, despite the different terminology for certain things and different Scottish accent varieties. Examples of common Scottish dialect would be, 'Cannae', meaning 'Cannot', or 'didnae' for 'did not'. A very common Scottish word for the word 'know', to 'know' someone, is to 'ken' someone. Glasgow tends to be the only part of Scotland I find that rarely if ever, uses the word 'ken'. It is however very common around Scotland, so if they say 'Aye a ken', they're saying 'Yes, I know'. The Scottish accent can be quite thick and strong at times and we do speak pretty quick, so if you struggle to understand people in Scotland, ask them to speak slower, ask politely what they said, and any Scot would be more than happy and willing to help you. Too often I have seen the Scottish accent butchered by so many people and I do not blame people because they struggle to pull it off, it seems as though the Scottish accent seems the most difficult accent on the planet for people to pull off. Someone once told me it is because we have different tones to how we speak, although, I'm not quite sure. I find it funny however that impersonators seem to sound Irish when they attempt Scottish. Although some people can be pretty good. So I hope from the Scottish accent videos I can help people better understand Scottish dialect and as to how we talk. Common words you hear people impersonating the Scottish accent get completely wrong, and one of them is the word 'you'. We use two different words, 'Ye' and 'Ya' and is important to know when to use them. Although sometimes we do use the proper word 'you', and pronouncing it correctly can also be important.
