Broad scottish accent scots strong Scots dialect

[dogetty]

Can't understand a word he is saying...lol...

[geharvey85]

I'm from Devon and got quite a few words! but if you have as many problems with Sky TV as I do, you soon get used to the Scottish accent lol. Good video :)

[Ccomfortablynumb]

This guy is from south west scotland a place called stranraer .

[ScottMcK9]

This video has always intrigued me lol I can understand some, the audio maybe poor, but trust me, hawf you folk whereever you are, don't have a clue about Aberdonian, believe me, when I say every part a Scotland speaks different, this is proof. I'd love to be able to learn it, to be able to tell you, but all I can say is, wakkin aboot is 100% north eastern Doric Scots accent, because they don't walk, they wak lol :D

Love it! :)

[buenosdiers]

Hmmmm. either you speak Scottish or use an external microphone, but both at the same time is pretty tough for us.......

[3MeLis]

this doesnt even sound like english to me..

[phr4nk3rd00d13]

I like your video. I'm starting to side with the "language side" now, with Scots. I don't really think it's a dialect... I mean, Afrikaans and Dutch are considered distinct languages by practically everyone, yet they're mutually intelligible. Yet I, a native English speaker, can't understand this at all........ I'd place my bet on calling it a full, real, "language"- not just a dialect or "accent"- much less "terrible English"... -__- It's all just terminology anyhow, not too important...

[adieu52]

I'm from Fife, and I can barely understand this... hahahaha. Oh dear.

[dannyswag2925]

I'm american, I know right off the bat my comprehension of Scottish accents is immediately handicapped, but I picked up literally one word haha. Wow. I'm taken back by how diverse accents in the U.K. actually are.

VERY Informative Video

Cheers

[4543563]

@dannyswag2925

Yeah, each part of England has it's own variation.

If you drove from the south-western tip of England and drove to Aberdeen, you would hear so many different accents....

[scottdylan1]

aye same

[chrislovespillz]

am scottish n a canny even understand him

[profjasonmerchant]

Great video. Wish it had subtitles: I'd use it in class to show how different English varieties can be from one another. (As it is, I can't understand enough of it...!)

[leonardbullhock]

@profjasonmerchant use it anyway. I originally had put subtitles on it but kinda defeats the purpose. A lot of people think its a put on accent. Trust me, its no and theres worse than mine here. lol

[phr4nk3rd00d13]

@profjasonmerchant It's actually considered a full "language" by many, now, as opposed to a "variety," i.e., "dialect."

[willracer92]

shite quality on the sound of the video, not a total bollix of a video though. I liked it, o'course

[idolivercampos]

I'm British, but my English is not so terrible

this is a joke, to me he's drunk

[leonardbullhock]

@idolivercampos Anybody wi `camp` in ther name needs a kick in the toosh.

[Lenin200488]

Ah'm jealous o' that accent. Ah've got the shitey East Central accent (fae Falkirk, by the way). Got tae say though, managed a wee bit yer story, but no' an awfy lot.

[flow5205]

I was wondering if anyone knows what food was eaten in Scotland in the 1600s, and where i can find this information. PLEESE! I really need to know! I am doing a project for school and need to make a meal.

[yuriha1977]

it's a challenge to understand when it accelerates and brakes suddenly

[sorova]

The guys a fuckin dober! He's probably Canadian.

[boabyjenkins]

I'm Glaswegian (From Glasgow, born and raised) and I cant fuckin understand that. The guy is either drunk, exaggerating and/or both. Utter SHITE video.

[leonardbullhock]

@boabyjenkins Typical bigshot moothpiece comment.

Basically what you`re saying is, "because I`m from the big city (by ra way ya dobber etc etc) and don`t get it and if you don`t sound like a ned and swagger about threatening to kill folk then you`re not Scottish"

 Thanks for your Utter bollocks comment.

[SCOAlba]

@boabyjenkins Am Gasgwegian mate ( born and raised ) but i can understand him.. Aye hes speakin kinda like Ken n stuff lol but i understand it fine.. the quality is a little crap though.. hard to hear him.

[PsychoticImp]

@boabyjenkins Have you ever heard other dialects such as ayrshire accents i.e folks from auchenlect. Now it sounds like a total other language. Did he say in his video he was fae glasgow? I didnt hear him say anything like that?

[yuriha1977]

bad audio quality and a cluncky rythmed accent XD

[leonardbullhock]

@yuriha1977 Quality is shit. i`ll give you that.

[leonardbullhock]

@calderposse nae exaggeration son. shitty recording though.

[leonardbullhock]

@BrolyFan23 nae bother boy. Some o your words are the same as some o mine. I left a comment on your video but its no showed up.

[BOT101st]

I'm trying to learn scots, but i'm from southern england so i'm failing quite a lot lol.

Any tips or advice? Or ain't you too keen on us Englishmen :/...

[Imreadingthisaloud]

@BOT101st try to move yer moof as a little as u kin wi yer vowels. listen ti us talk n yel soon pic up the accent n wurs eh :P

[cupcakeflake]

@KillMrFist I`ve been to Arbroath. The accent isn`t as thick as that i dnt think

[GamlaJosef]

I'm swedish and I think it sounds like Danish!

[tatiebogle]

@GamlaJosef You are almost right there. Scots as a language has many words similar to old Norse. Historians would have us believe its from old English but a closer observation of words, phrases and place names give a clear indication toward Old Norse. Saying that, Scots has words used from Gaelic. Welsh as well as English. In the middle ages English chroniclers documented that Scots was a different language to that of English.

[leonardbullhock]

@tatiebogle Top write up there mate.

[tatiebogle]

@GamlaJosef I remember a tv advert about Icelandic beer drinking women or something like that. The women in the ad were speaking merrily in Icelandic, I could have swore it sounded like Scots. I had to listen again when it was repeated later and I could not believe how close it was to Scots. These women could easily been mistaken to have came from somewhere in Scotland.

[ccflipperkicker]

I'm Scottish and I couldn't understand much of that.

[MaBu888]

Dutch sounding. Can't understand anything. :)

[winnryautomail]

Is this...English??? O_O

[paulroxx]

[salxoxo]

I couldn't understand a word he said.

[goldensonggirl70]

I can't understand a word you're saying LOL!! If you were talking to me in person, I'd just be nodding and smiling!

[TheSoulVids]

I can't understand any of it... this is coming from a Geordie ;)

[fenix182]

I'm from Glasgow in Scotland and I don't have a clue what he's saying at any part.

[SayThose3WordsForMe]

I'm Scottish and all I could make out was a blethering man, didnae have a clue wit you were blethering about though lmao! I'm sure its a good story lmao!

[alphamone]

I can understand the occassional word, but for most of it, it is just incomprehensible.

[SaorAlba100]

[leonardbullhock]

@MsLiz50 Aberdeen? Aboot 500 mile away

[UNCRatDog]

@MsLiz50 What does "taking the piss" mean? (Sorry)

[owurmoshingonmyfoot]

@UNCRatDog He means making fun of it (Scottish accent). Common slang in Britain.

[datsyhoehoe]

@UNCRatDog joking around, messin', just kiddin', you know?

[MsLiz50]

he has to be from aberdeen, I cant understand a word hes saying and i am a glasweigan, I have no clue what hes saying , hes taking the piss I think

[ZZDC]

I could have got all of this, its just the sound quality that makes it hard to follow. Shame, cause i love the different characters around our fair country.

[leonardbullhock]

try my other videos

[Corrie121]

I am Scottish, and I doubt if this character can understand himself! Still, he seems to be enjoying himself.

[mehmetinho9]

It sounds more chookter (yes I know, teuchter)

[EternalLandsNews]

It's not because of the accent it's cause of the audio quality.

[leneyreid]

lol My husband and inlaws are from Paisley, and I'm proud I've finally figured out most of what they are saying after 7 years :P But this is completely beyond my abilities lol

[gglen46]

[leonardbullhock]

aye, fair comment. I`m from Wigtownshire.

[Abyssery]

[adlucem5]

Wow, no, I have no idea what you're saying or what language that even is.

[caemgen51]

I would like to learn this language. You should do some lessons on youtube if you can.

[NotMLG]

wooooow i cant understand u lol

[cupcakeflake]

you`re fae richt doon the sooth west eh? yer an ugly hoor tae.

[niaZomba]

wow that is a really thick accent

[YouKaySoap]

It's no really it's how he says his words. Like 'ken' instead of 'know'. More of an east coast thing that is.

[leonardbullhock]

Not west coast then?

[YouKaySoap]

Maybe in some parts no many people say it in Glasgow though.

[funkrocksock]

lmao YouKaySoap, you really dont know what your talking about :P

[BMtodaP]

I think it's because it's scots the dialect and not scots the accent. maybe

[caemgen51]

It's not an accent but a different language.

[SwapMeetFlea]

Do you mean that literally? I can tell you, he's speaking English. It's just good ole Scots English! :)

[TheGYmFreak89]

[gelatinaverde00]

[Shana4t5]

Good to hear real Scots being spoken. From Dumfries and Galloway for sure, near Wigtown Creetown I would guess.

[leonardbullhock]

Cheers. Rubbish recording to be honest and I was just talking off the op of my head, I`m from Stranraer.

[Zzukkie]

woah.. that sounds like danish. :O

[stranboogie]

alrightie big bird. ya gow ye!! The big fella was such a legend at his place of work that you ended up speaking like him. Right up yer coonsel gritter an aww that.

[Morgancee]

I understood the start bit the most but if your recording quality was better I'd understand it all.

"Do you think I'm in the picture, I don't know I don't know what it looks like probs just half my head, probs just get the top of my head in it. Anyway..."

I understand more but can't be bothered typing it.

I'm from Dundee by the way.

Morgan xx

[leonardbullhock]

aye, yer richt, the recording is crap. :)

[davidy717]

Can British people understand pure Ebonis(African American Vernacular English)?

[rabkirk1]

Legenddd Mannn :D

[Camundonguinho]

it's kewl

[JaysGoneawol]

I want to talk like this!Im from London but i might be going to work in Scotland for a few months,so i want to come back home with that accent,but i cant even master a basic Scottish accent so that plans out the window! :(

[piedmont252]

Well...as an English speaking American...I can't understand a single thing that you are saying. I have a very stupid question to ask of you. Is it easy for you to understand an American, Australian or New Zealander when they speak English?

[leonardbullhock]

No problems.

[empmccoy]

never ever had a problem with understanding anyone. like the title suggests this is very strong and probably put on(maybe). i live in Scotland and usually well especially where we are we are a lot more pronounced so would be easier to understand than this.

[leonardbullhock]

Its not put on, its more like a shit recording and a few choice words thrown in that throws most people. My other video on sawney beans cave is more of an accurate idea of my accent.

[davybeeton]

richt up yer bare erse

[mcbungie]

al kill ye. daid as a maak
