The rest o'yon alphabet ye'z wid know, bit 'Ash'  Æ might bi o' a mystery tæ ye.. bit.. iyts how 'we' sæy 'tæ' an' no yon hInglish 'too'.

Am appropriatin 'Yogh' Ȝ here ays a character fur 'cgh' awe combined. Iyn middle Scots iyt wis used ays a Y or S, but since ah didnay ken o' a modern use fur iyt, we'll tak fur oorselves as the hInglish ur no wa'ntin' iyt anymær.

'Yogh' Ȝ.. iys how we miby sæy 'locȝ' (mær properly 'loȝ') instead o' yon hInglish 'lock'. Ah prefer iyt ays loȝh ays iyt looks bonnie.

Kin be used a'naw fur 'Edinburȝh'.

O'er languages huv twins a'naw, Norwegian an Swedish, Portuguese an Spanish, Arabic an Hebrew.. thys iys the same wæ Scots an hInglish.

Ah wis affy burnt tæ see yon Dundonian Scots Dictionary cite only east coast Scots exæmples. Noo Ah'm no wan fur gettin upity aboot east oar west coast, ma gran iys fæ Edinburȝh, an' Ah hud a guid tyme everytyme wen Ah wis there masel! Been tæ gigs n thyt..braw scots folk every bit lit the west coast folk, but seein' how Dundee Uni didnay think o'an us west coasters, Ah see fit tæ add thys.

Iyn brief.. Leid iys a East Coast word fur language, oan the West Coast we use a loan-word o' 'lingo'. Ah protest the use o' the definition o' 'Lallans' even tho iyt means iyn hInglish 'Low Lands' coz iyt soonds lit 'Doo-lally'.. 'Wegie' a'naw coz iyt soonds lit 'Gudgie' which iys Scots fur 'manky skint folk'.. 'West Coast' ays a definition iys o' hInglish.. but næ o'er weirdness oar disrespect o' iyt kin bi fun næwise o' iyt. Fur mær information see below yon dictionary boady.

Oan goin' process. Ah add words ays Ah fun them oar mind o' them.

Ah'd like tæ see inclusionary tactics iyn each dialect, o'wit Ah kin fathom three major wans.

LD = Legal Doric

Thys iys the East Coast Official 'Leid' an wit ah wid sæy iys oor..equivalent o' 'Oxford hInglish'. Noo oan the West Coast we call iyt lingo n' no leid.

WC = West Coast
Ays par o' the course tæ masel.

HL = Highlund
Mær o' different shades o' the Scots lingo.

Noo.. Ah um willin' fur LD tæ be the 'Official Legal' lingo fur us Scots, but ays far ays yon o'er's go, am no keen tæ be telt wits wit. Fur exæmple.. yon LD iys 'Hae' but WC iys 'Huv'. WC doesnæ need 'standardization' o' LD. Awe three ur tæ be regarded ays respectit. Næbuddy needs anywan imposin a 'correct' version o' Scots upon o'er Scots, So um sæyin.. within Scotlund LD, WC, HL AWE VALID. uar we huv the situation much lit the hInglish did in imposin hInglish oan us..but wæ LD. NÆBUDDY wa'nts thyt!

Sæyin 'Lallans'.. sounds too much lit 'do-lally' sæyin' 'Weigies' sounds too much lit 'gudgies'. Let's sæy Ah'm no a fan. 'West Coast Scots' iys fine fur mæ anywise ye put iyt.

Huvin' folk recognise bæth 'East Coast Scots' an 'Legal Doric' iys smart, wæ East Coast bein' the general speech (an' VALID) an huvin' respect fur LD, ays the specific Legal termed lingo/leid iys fine an' mæst prolly riȝhtly so. Ays lang ays næ cowardice iys injected thyt o'er folk ur treati't bad oan bein' WC or HL, then we're awe fine. Iyn fact a judge o' the court should riȝhtly be versed in awe, EC WC HL, awe Scots tæ be a proper judge o' the court.

Scots iys mær poetry thun vernacular anywise. We sæy iyt wæ oor heart no oor mooth oar heed.

Fur foreigners learnin' Scots.. aye, go wæ the LD, if yur comin tæ the west coast throw iyn a few WC words a'naw.



Here's pært o' ma answer oan Quora.. wis talkin' oan an'oer subject (Iyn hInglish) but here's how Ah sum up Scots ayt iyt's hært:

With the Scots language is it MUCH more important THE EMOTION in which you say something.. getting ‘spelling wrong’.. grammar, diction.. is an anathema. In Scots it’s all about the 1. Intention it was said. 2. The emotion it was said with. 3. The way it was crafted.
Like if I were to say:
‘Oh yur the spittin image o’ yursel’
This means I am saying.. the person is looking well and how I imagined them. It’s a micro-poem and crafting micro-poems is very important in the Scots language, and to Scots people, as it can easily make you popular depending on your skill. Spelling.. spell it how you like, as long as I understood you, all is good.
The hInglish care nothing about this.. for them the way to gauge someone’s intelligence is diction, grammar, literacy. Basically.. forthrightness and clarity of speech.

Reasonings

Now before anyone says 'you're trying to be officus'.. these are guidelines .. and even ones I would prefer to see not observed, no one should hold anything over anyone in terms of language. (see above)

'Kin' is in English 'can'.. why? because we Scots don't pronounce the A, we pronounce an I and since Cin.. is pronounced 'Syn'.. we end up with the wrong word. But if we use K for the first letter, we achieve the correct result.

Hænæ vs huvnæ.. hæ is the correct Scots word for the English 'have' as it contains more particles of ownership to Scots, however 'hænæ' 'haynay' sounds too much like a surname, it muddies the clearness of what is said, so since we already have a particle in 'næ' we sacrifice 'hæ' for the sake of clarity.

Lit vs like is a simple realization error.. that Scots think we are saying 'like' without listening to the word coming out of our mouths.. we are actually saying 'lit'.

When writing in Scots to friends I sometimes put a 'y' inside words like.. it.. iyt ayt iys.. this is to signify a letter that doesn't exist in our alphabet.. most Scots speakers don't hear it, but other English speakers do hear it and it confuses them.. this is one reason why we are not understood in the English speaking community when we speak.. even when we say 'as' we don't and the English speaking world hears it something like: ahys.. like A-highs and not the English 'azz'.. and this is similar for many many Scots words. I suggested a new letter to signify this to the DSL, but their wit in understanding of what I was saying.. was ironically, insufficient.

We add a ultra soft 'h' and mid soft 'y' to many of our words.

Using 'Ash' letter

I use Ash when possible.. like wæ (with) and not 'wi'..because we say fæ and not 'fi'.. hæ and not 'hi'. The particles of ownership are arranged to be standardized. But also different uses.. like 'gærden' (Garden) 'hært' (Heart) 'ænswer' (Answer).. these use a softer ash, but through this use of ash, we can demonstrate to ourselves what other non-Scots English speakers are hearing.. and why they cannot directly understand Scots when spoken naturally.

I was asked by the DSL where I got my references.. I obviously got them from both daily use and Scots language programmes like.. Still Game, Chewin' The Fat, Limmy's Show and Burnistoun.

I sat through all of them.. for the most part laughing and stopping & listening to how the words were pronounced. I was flabbergasted when I was asked where I got these as it should have been obvious to the DSL.

: Merci beucoup, please will you tell me about them?

De rien, oui :half smile:

Canada, I love her, but she is always going around like there is no tomorrow, she cares more for hiking and ice sports than wearing nice clothes! That girl displeases me, always whispering about how good Angles laws are, she thinks I can't hear her! but I do hear her, monsieur. A pretty girl like her should look nice, I caught her wearing a 'flannel shirt' whatever that is, last year.

: [big smile] Did you scold her?

Bien entendu! She needs to learn how to make her own clothes that girl.

:And your other daughters and adopted daughters?

One of my adopted daughters makes me laugh so! She is always in a bad mood with me then changes her mind, Algérie, then she says 'please Mother I am sorry for fighting with you, can I have a little money?' And as a good Mother I look after her encore :kind smile:, because what do you do.. but love your children?

: your sister and half sisters?

Ah, oui, I and my half sisters have a strong relationship, I talk to them very often, et de ma soeur Belgique, you see, she is.. how do i say kindly, she is little, but with a voice that causes calm, she has a voice ten times her size and I am very proud of her :huge smile: . She loves peace, and in this I admire her.

: your cousins?

I do not see them often these days, It was because some turmoil came up long ago, I am still sad to think on it.

: What do you mean?

Ah, monsieur.. A long time ago my second cousins and I were one, we lived happy lives, and even after the Romans invaded, we became close again, except Angle wanted to rule us all, we did not want this, or so I thought, Alba was my best friend.. :sadness:


:What happened?

She married Angle..

She broke my heart! I even waited on her until 1920 hoping she would see sense and return! I refused to believe so I waited for 200 years, like the story of the woman in the dusty wedding dress.. my best friend!

When I sent our Daughter Americana a statue to wave in English faces, I secretly knew it would please Alba, but still she did not return. :tears welling up:

She even warred with me and I forgave her, but leaving me waiting so long.. this I cannot forgive!

I am Gaul.. it is my first name and my last.. but we are not an empire!.. we care and love each other, as even the same person.. oh my heart aches to think on her squandering us!!

: Why do you say that, wasn't it Cymru, who first empowered Angle?

Monsieur, if even Alba, whom the Romans could not beat, succumbed to Angles money, then Cymru would have eventually given in anyway. But we knew Cymru was like that, she liked being open and travelling, but Alba.. Alba is/was indestructible, or so we thought. I hoped Eire would talk her out of it, but She had her own fight I suppose.. eventually, I just.. accepted Angles help and co-operation, then it seemed normal, I mean He helped me a lot during the World War, so I just faced up to the reality, She's not coming back and the happiness we had, all of us, is gone. Besides, it's not like I am married to Him, I am free to come and go as I please, why cry over 300 year old split milk? non, J'ai la dignité.

Am I to make war with Him should She decide to resume Her freedom?..non.

:Is this why Americana not share your last name?

Oh! Ça alors! First, She has many Mothers, but other reasons.. Alba, Eire and I named her 'Freedom', she actually has four last names, Iberia Scania Saxon Gael, but she warred with Angle and Espania, Alba wasn't actually bothered that she warred with Angle, but when She caused blood with people who did not deserve it, Alba took away Americana's last name.. even recently I told Americana, 'Please Daughter do not make more war!' but as ever She just ignored me. She's not like us, she makes blood for money and so I stayed silent when Alba took her name away.

: Merci beaucoup pour votre temps.

Monsieur salut , you have tired me out! :kind smile:

: Merci Beucoup, s'il vous plaît me l'informerez-vous?

De rien, oui: demi sourire:

Canada, je l'aime, mais elle tourne toujours comme il n'y a pas de lendemain, elle s'occupe davantage de faire de la randonnée et des sports de glace que de porter de beaux vêtements! Cette fille me déplaît, toujours en chuchotant sur les bonnes lois Angles, elle pense que je ne peux pas l'entendre! Mais je l'entends, monsieur. Une jolie fille comme elle devrait avoir l'air sympa, je l'ai vue porter une «chemise en flanelle» quelle qu'elle soit, l'année dernière.

: [Grand sourire] Vous l'avez grondé elle?

Bien entendu! Elle a besoin d'apprendre à faire des vêtements appropriés à cette fille.

: Et vos autres filles et filles adoptives?

Une de mes filles adoptives me fait rire si! Elle est toujours de mauvaise humeur avec moi puis change d'avis, Algérie, puis elle dit: «Mère, je suis désolé de me battre avec vous, puis-je avoir un peu d'argent? Et comme une bonne mère, je m'occupe de son bis: sourire gentil :, car que faites-vous ... mais aimez-vous vos enfants?

: Votre soeur et demi sœurs?

Ah, oui, mes demi-soeurs ont une relation forte, je leur parle très souvent, et de ma soeur Belgique, vous voyez, elle est ... comment dis-je gentillement, elle est petite, mais avec une voix qui cause calme, Elle a une voix dix fois plus grande et je suis très fière d'elle: un grand sourire:. Elle aime la paix, et dans cela je l'admire.

: tes cousins?

Je ne les vois pas souvent ces jours-ci, c'était parce qu'une certaine agitation s'est produite depuis longtemps, je suis toujours triste de penser à cela.

: Que voulez-vous dire?

Ah, monsieur ... Il y a longtemps, mes cousins ​​et moi étions un, nous avons vécu des vies heureuses, et même après que les Romains ont envahi, nous nous sommes rapprochés, sauf Angle voulait nous gouverner tous, nous ne le voulions pas. Je pensais que Alba était mon meilleur ami ...: tristesse:


:Qu'est-il arrivé?

Elle a épousé Angle ..

Elle a brisé mon coeur! Je l'ai même attendu jusqu'en 1920 en espérant qu'elle verrait le sens et le retour! J'ai refusé de croire, alors j'ai attendu 200 ans, comme l'histoire de la femme dans la robe de mariée poussiéreuse ... mon meilleur ami!

Quand j'ai envoyé notre Fille Americana  une statue pour faire pâle dans les visages anglais, je savais secrètement que cela satisfaire à Alba, mais elle ne revenait toujours pas. : Larmes emplir œil :

Elle a même combattu avec moi et je l'ai pardonnée, mais je me laisse attendre si longtemps ... je ne peux pas pardonner!

Je suis la Gaule ... c'est mon prénom et mon dernier ... mais nous ne sommes pas un empire! ... Nous nous soucions et nous aimons, comme même la même personne ... oh, mon cœur a envie de penser à son gaspillage!

: Pourquoi dites-vous cela, n'est-ce pas Cymru, qui a d'abord renforcé Angle?

Monsieur, même si Alba, que les Romains ne pouvaient pas battre, succombait à l'argent d'Angles, alors Cymru aurait finalement donné de toute façon. Mais nous savions que Cymru était comme ça, elle aimait être ouverte et en voyage, mais Alba ... Alba est / était indestructible, ou nous avons pensé. J'espérais que Eire la ferait sortir, mais elle a eu son propre combat, je suppose ... Finalement, je ... j'ai accepté l'aide et la coopération d'Angles, alors il semblait normal, je veux dire, il m'a beaucoup aidé pendant la guerre mondiale , Alors j'ai juste fait face à la réalité, elle ne revient pas et le bonheur que nous avons tous, nous sommes tous partis. D'ailleurs, ce n'est pas comme si je me suis marié à lui, je suis libre d'aller et venir comme je voudrais, pourquoi pleurer plus de 300 ans de lait fractionné? Non, J'ai la dignité.

Dois-je faire la guerre avec Lui, si elle décide de reprendre sa liberté? ... non.

: Est-ce pourquoi Americana ne partage pas votre nom de famille?

Oh! Ça alors! Tout d'abord, elle a beaucoup de mères, mais d'autres raisons ... Alba, Eire et moi avons appelé sa «Liberté», elle a en fait quatre noms, Iberia Scania Saxon Gael, mais elle a combattu avec Angle et Espania, Alba n'a pas vraiment dérangé que Elle a combattu avec Angle, mais quand elle a causé du sang avec des gens qui ne l'ont pas mérité, Alba a enlevé le nom de famille de Americana ... tout récemment, j'ai dit à Americana: «S'il vous plaît, la fille ne fait plus de guerre! Mais comme toujours, elle m'a simplement ignoré. Elle n'est pas comme nous, elle fait du sang pour de l'argent, et je me taisai quand Alba prit retirer son nom.

: Merci beaucoup pour votre temps.

Monsieur Salut, vous m'avez fatigué! : Gentil sourire:

Leaders and what they mean to me..

It's 2017 so anyone reading this in the future will be like.. who?? But a slice of time and a cuppa remembrance didnay hurt anywan.


Patrick Harvie

As ah'm ay wan tæ say.. he seems lit a sensible guy, no lit the usual hippies mæst green parties throw up. Just look at his picture.. he's no thinking aboot blowing the polis budget on hemp blankets tæ keep the mountains wa'rm. He's prolly trying tæ work oot how he kin get us cheaper electricity fæ wind farms or wave farms. Ah like that!

Long story short.. I do NOT care a JOT where the electricity comes from, but if you can go away and make it both green and cheaper (free would be even better).. well done! You deserve ma praise and ma second vote!

Yez should keep the sensible heed on the shoulders when it comes to money, coz a load folk work hard fur their money.. they'ur no goiny hawn it tæ a load o' hippies.

Nicola Sturgeon

Noo Ah wis a big fan o' Alec Salmond, but that lassie hus earned the right side o' me weh her fire fur Scotland!

Tirelessly (she'd prolly say it wis knackerin' haha) she hus put forward an honest and determined face, despite o' mare opposition than she warranted. No fake like many in Westminster, didnay gee up wen the goin got tough. Aye she hus done well an' deserves the reward o' her efforts.

Ah ay say o' us.. the SNP.. if wa'nt somethin' bad enough fur long enough, wen ye get it, you'll no squander it. and that's us.. Nicola definitely included in that.

Kezia Dugdale

Oh this'll be short.. ah dunno her. Labour huv fallen apart these days, nothing mare ah kin say, coz ah don't know.

Ruth Davidson

Noo .. Ah'm næ tory, but ah thought she wis aweright. she faced a lot of ugly mockery, which Ah didnay enjoy.

Ah ay wa'nted tæ say tæ her;

 'Listen hen, ye huv wit it takes tæ be opposition, but ye need tæ ditch awe the cowtowin tæ English masters

The English tories hawnt you a deed horse n said 'Go!' lit it wis the grand national. Ye sorted yur party oot an got it runnin'.. but there's where the english tories wer smarter than you, they dont huv tæ care aboot Scotland, and they don't, they care aboot England.. and as long as you (Ruth) ur showin face, they didnay need tæ worry aboot a rebellion, making Scotland like the Northern Ireland of old.

I bet at their luncheons they hud a good laugh, no at yur expense mind, but at the sheer surprise o' Tories in Scotland.'

A Scottish Tory party would work in Scotland but only if it were NON-Unionist, The English tories huv been too cruel too often tæ folk in this country, besides 300 years is enough, let it die.



GOVERNMENT STYLES

Ah'm Left o' Center..but we'll get tæ that in a minute..

Right Wing

Now English Tories who invented a lot of this malarky, don't count as 'right wing' and you'll understand why soon. They are Imperialists, which is a system of exploitation of the poor, Conservatism is different, and is a morally good system, here I'll explain how..

The Government, a Conservative one, opens dialogue with big business, has universal low tax, for both big business and everyone,they encourage jobs by bringing whole industries to a country.

What this means practically is.. food is very cheap, jobs are plentiful, no duty or import taxes, fewer licence fees.. basically everything gets cheaper to buy. But spending on public services gets less, as obviously, there is less money, they also need to be mediator between workers and management, should a dispute break out. Many governments have failed at this, not just conservative ones either*.

What happens with the English Tories is quite .. different.

Food gets more expensive, they highly taxate the poor, they tax everything they can; including making new laws so they can tax the poor even more. They favor those who voted for them, and bring jobs only to England (even moving jobs from Scotland to England as a punishment).

Basically the English Conservatives are as I would put it are ..EVIL.

It's like some movie where you see the bad guys early on and are waiting for the hero to show up, but he/she never does (its been 300 years*).
The Anti-robin hood of the political world..like some crazy council of Bond villains.


Right of Center

The little wandered 'Right of Center'.. am næ expert, but these seem tæ be Libertarian parties. Low taxation, low public spend, .. and here's a new one, they will refuse to make laws that interfere with your daily life, in other words, they will accept things like legalization of certain drugs for consumption, legalization of firearms. you want tæ homeschool yur kid?.. that's fine! They put a high value on personal liberty.

Think aboot the movie 'The Purge' as an extremist right of center party, who got control and took their desire for personal freedom to insane levels. No modern Right of Center party wants this, they don''t condone murder or theft.

They are both anti-war and anti-immigration, the conservatives being pro-war and anti-immigration,
They enjoy encouraging small business and big business alike, and will give tax breaks to banks who will loan out money to small businesses.For them it's all about enabling the individual to do whatever it is they want to do*.

Center

Here in the middle, we have a start to social care..

These parties, have moderate taxation across the board, offer free higher education, heavy focus on financially helping small to medium businesses, medium public spend, little to no co-operation with trade unions.

What does this practically mean? They are trying to stem inflation so they can spend more, they are trying to increase the middle class by this system, but personally I have yet to see it work. What *should* happen: prices for goods stay the same, but jobs increase, the modate tax is funnelled in to banks, and the welfare requirees 'live' off the interest. What *does* happen:Well they can support a stop on inflation, many projects have to be scrapped due to not enough funding, usually because they didn't create enough jobs to support social care/welfare.


Left of Center

ho!ho!

Here's me :)

The Left is called Socialism.. but the brand we use is European Socialism, which is a much watered down but still valid style of government.

Low tax for the poorest, moderate tax for the average worker, low to moderate tax on small and medium businesses, high tax for big business, take from the rich to give to the poor. High public spend, including free higher education, free medical and dental, free housing to those who cannot afford it or cheap housing to those who cannot afford to be on the housing ladder. Using the country's resources to achieve higher cash reserves for spending. Pro-immigration anti-war.

What does this practically mean? While the quality of food, *may* decline slightly, prices will be low and food plentiful,  jobs can be stifled unless that government is smart about the given resources, trade is paramount to good fiscal standing so this ties in with good immigration policies, so people are free to find jobs elsewhere and even to here from abroad.

Ye'll never starve or see yur weans die in a hospital because ye didnay huv the money tæ pay them. The Tories accuse this of being the 'welfare state'.. but really its a lack of effort on England's part to replace jobs they squandered in Scotland.

In Norway.. they have a slightly different style of European Socialism, what they do is heavily tax everyone, but for an amazing reason, when you reach, i think it's 60yo, you retire and they give you a house (yes it's yours). Not just that.. If you feel you would like a break for upto 2 years, they will pay you a decent amount of money, after your break is up, you go looking for work again and no hard feelings.

Personally, I would like to see Scotland have free electricity for personal use, with a one-off a year payment for maintenance, paying the workers wages, say £100 from each person. Business (factories) would still have to be metered. Electricity generated by wave and wind farms.

Labour of modern days has been known to both adopt fully, and to mix Left and Left of Center style policies.

Left

The full 'Marx mile'.

A welfare state, where everything is free, but your work is sanctioned by the government. Takes care of children and the elderly, resources are used for profit, nationalization of companies, also standardizing them. The power of the worker is much greater than the men with money because of trade unions.

Inclusionary immigration but if a party has the above and is anti-immigration, they *can* become fascist. Anti-immigration is the cornerstone of fascism, this is why the English tories are accused of this at present, with the above power over everyone and anti-immigration it can become inevitable.

There are a lot of pro's to this style of government, like ensuring you children are fed, educated and will be safe from destitution their whole life. The con's are the power the state has is absolute.

Tommy Sheridan, and the SSP are the only Scottish fully Left party of note. Tommy seems like a good guy imho, but he again imho, needs more lawyers in the SSP, people that can be trusted by the Scottish people. But then again, I wouldn't like to see Scotland become fully Left and Marxist.

(UPDATE: just found out Tommy is in the Solidarity Party, a party which I had heard of, but forgotten about)

National Dignity.. a kind word in a gentle ear

Hullo

While I am meditating on Nicola Sturgeon and Patrick Harvey, which hopefully I will be writing an article on their leadership, I had something .. an idea I wanted to share. We don't have Lords and Knights within the SNP, and Scotland is a sideline at best to copious richeries & Barclaites of the English Tories.. but there is something dignant in the revel of honour, something stilled.

I would like to suggest Alec Salmond be put forth for the Order of the Thistle as a Knight of the Scottish Realm, ratified by the Scottish Government. This would be the SNP's nomination..

for Labour I would like to see the same posthumous honour given to Donald Dewar nominated by Labour. Donald, the architect of Scottish Devolution.

I would suggest that this honour comes with one slight responsibility, that if no party is willing to commit a speaker to Holyrood, that the job falls to the Knight without need for a seated vote.

Strangely enough*, for The Conservatives, I would like to see them nominate John Major, who brought social healing after the cataclysm of Margaret Thatcher, and what she wrought upon the Scottish people.

John Major was great for Social reform, he also initiated the original N.I. peace talks, but never takes credit for them. In his tenure he gave dignity to people that Margaret Thatcher had robbed it from by his DHSS reform. remarkable man.
