Although honestly I’m not sure how much of this is Scots and how much is just specific to Scottish twitter lol
So actually having done some more reading this isn’t Scots - I’m fairly sure this is Scottish English which is somewhat a merging of Scots with English.
yea and galician “looks like” a dialect of spanish, norwegian “looks like” a dialect of danish, and afrikaans “looks like” a dialect of dutch. hell, i can say english “looks like” a dialect of ulster scots. “dialect”/“accent” and “language” are meaningless words
that being said the text in this post is scottish english, not scots
Übahaupt, jetzt wo si Hochdeutsch imma mea duachsetzt, und vü junge Leit übahaupt nimma richtig östareichisch1 redn leanan, missn ma doch schaun, dass unsa Sproch net oafoch ausstiabt, oda?
Mia hom a a longe Tradition, wonns um Mundoatdichtung geht. Da Dichta von da obaöstareichischn Hymne zum Beispü, da Stelzhamer Franz, hot gonz vü in Mundoat gschribn.
Und weis ma grod eifoit: Es gibt a a eigene Wikipedia in unsam Dialekt: https://bar.wikipedia.org/ Oba do dua i ma söm schwah, dass i des vasteh. De is scho in da äagstn von de oagn Mundoatn gschribm.
(So, jetzt woas i net, wöcha Sproch i im Dropdown do untn auswöhn soid… Wei wirklich Deitsch is des jo net…)
[1] I am fully aware that the dialect I’m writing in is not called “Austrian”. The two big dialects spoken in Austria are “Alemannic” and “Bavarian”, and the one I’m writing is the Bavarian dialect. I’m only using the word “östareichisch” here, because that’s what I expect most people to use in spoken conversation.
Oh Gott, Oida. Ich habs gerade geschafft, den Text zu entziffern. Aber ernsthaft, ich glaub bei sowas immer auf den ersten Blick, dass da wer nen Schlaganfall bekommen hat und einfach mit dem Gesicht über die Tastatur gerollt ist lol.
I swear Scottish people are the only ones who type in their own phonetic accent
Scots isn’t just an accent, it’s a language in its own right.Although honestly I’m not sure how much of this is Scots and how much is just specific to Scottish twitter lolSo actually having done some more reading this isn’t Scots - I’m fairly sure this is Scottish English which is somewhat a merging of Scots with English.
Looks a dialect to me

what I was referring to was the wikipedia definition of Scots
Wikipedia does explain that Scots and English are sister languages, they both descend from Old English. Neither is a dialect.

War ja auch nicht ernst gemeint. Ich bin bei diversen Chats im Freundeskreis eigentlich immer der einzige, der auf Hochdeutsch antwortet 😉.
En Gruess us dr Schwytz!
Non e Gruess vor schwiz
Newfies do the same. Was a whole fuckin thing to unlearn when I found the Internet lol
Yes, and so many of them do it wrong, it’s crazy.
Don’t know how many times I’m after seeing “bye” instead of “b’y”. Stunned.
Shockin b’y

I hate reading the Americans now typing “y’all”.
I’m a northerner and I still had to accept the unimpeachable logic that y’all is a versatile and useful word
Easily America’s best contribution to civilization, after “right (turns) on red”.
And I’m glad it’s catching on instead of “you’uns”, “yuns”, or “yous”.

Is it tho? I have to often times actually cool off people I know because they praise USA so hard without knowing shit.

I’m not American and I will forever type y’all because it’s useful and I like it lol
Y’all is just a useful word, other ways of referring to a group of people are ambiguous, esp. now that They doesn’t always mean multiple
y’all is a legitimate word and i’ll fight you over it.
