I know it's Keltic , but some of the phonetics sound Germanic - both Indo European, I know, but different branches - however, geographically kinda close to one another.
G'day Brad. Thanks for taking the time to post this. I always enjoy having a chuckle at the expense of my ancestors (Clan MacLennan). As Robin Williams said, "If you want a linguistic adventure, go drinkin' with a Scotsman. Because you can't f-ing understand them before." Cheers lad.
Ah talk aboot ingins an tatties an neeps an goin doon the road, some fowks still talk like that ye ken. I say dinnae, winnae, cannae an aw that. Still hear it spoken in the schemes
Dude i hate to sound negative being a fellow Scot but this is just a wee bitty point less because any visitor to Scotland will rarely here any off this Brigadoon Scottish. Most Visitors will visit Edinburgh, Glasgow or Inverness perhaps Glencoe. As you know nobody speaks like this in any of these areas. I think the most challenging Parliamo would be Glasgow patter why dont you do try out some of this in your forthcomming videos.
A great challenge for English people in the Pass of Drumochtar (spelling?) is to get them to say "Loch Ericht and Loch Errochty". I live and grew up in St Andrews, and when my sister was on a trip to Yorkshire with some other Fife friends one of them went to the shop on a station, pointed at something she wanted, and said to the wifie "Can Ah 'ae wan o' ae hings, hen?"
Of course nobody talks like this, anybody with half a brain can tell this is a pastiche of our dialect - like a Chinese person saying 'Flied Lice'. This video is meant to be a bit of fun....only. Besides, I say 'braw', I know people who say 'bricht' and 'nicht' and 'ingins', so really, it's not that far from the truth.
paddywhackery: The fakey, out-of-a-box Irishness that insists on the same damned songs and the same damned menu and the same damned Guinness advertisements on the wall of every Irish bar outside of Ireland.
Seen in nearly every film which features a non Irish actor doing an Irish accent. Notable exceptions include Daniel Day Lewis in "In The Name of The Father" and Bradd Pitt in "Snatch".
"Every St.Patricks day Jose liked to emphasize his Irish roots by wearing green, drinking Guiness and referring to the 'old country' but it smacked of Paddywhackery"
folk in scotland spoke like that mibby 50 year ago pal, if i was you i would take this doon because you come across as a complete arse and its a bad advert for scottish people like myself. thank you
You could use the phrase that was overheard in Parkhead. Celtic where playing badly and where behind. Enrico Annoni was on the bench and was warming up to come on as sustitute. a voice in the crowd turned to his mat and said "Aw naw no Annoni oan anaw noo" Magic.....
Jews like myself who can read Hebrew can also handle the guttural "ch" sound...I tell persons trying to learn this sound to act like they are preparing to spit!...thanks for the video anyway - although I clicked on it to hear a general Scottish accent...(as an American) I've been working on my Scottish accent, but my best results seem to come mainly when I do a thicker accent (as opposed to Sean Connery's milder accent)...the thing is I may fall flat on rolling some r's...ar-r-r-rgh!
I think this video is why some crazy guy said I was trying to copy you in my videos! I had to look you up (no offence, I just did) to find out who you are and disagree entirely other than the fact that I'm Scottish and sometimes I speak about things...
I DID make a "Scottish Accent" video though but in my mind it was the complete opposite of this one, me just talking about how I'm losing my accent and how I never even really had one. Unlike you who HAS one and is putting on MORE of one. Crazy.
Glad the haters are good for something! It's funny, this was just a little vid made as a bit of fun to a video that no longer exists and turned into one of my biggest, erm, successes! And boy have I received some stick for it, although, on the whole, the response has been favorable and what's more, I met my wife because of it!
I loove your video. I've sent it to my niece. I hope you continue with it. I've been studying Scots Gaelic, and so the gutteral sounds aren't that hard--just takes practice!!
Hi Gary loved the video. I am writing a song and making some cultural references. I was wondering if you knew any Scottish terms of indearment or phrases having to do with love or romance. Thanks
Hiya and THANK YOU!!! :) You helped to teach me a scottish accent and I've used it for my latest video. I have received a good response to the accent - but I'm not convinced. I think I'm doing the *I's* wrong. **shrug** I don't know but I would LOVE for you to respond to my video and let me know it's accent failings. I live to learn. :)
If you can't see it on your video responses look for "James McAvoy international anthem" . Grill me- I'm game. :)
A famous maker of Bridies in Dundee - Wallaces - also made their famous pie that when you took a bite, the hot grease would run down your cheeks. Now that was good eatin'! Few Scots ever see 60.
What a great accent and how wonderful is your presentation not to mention your humour. You are a hottie, but then again most Scottish men are:-) You would be able to convince me to try Haggis!!!Keep the videos coming.
Mate the majority of people in Scotland cant say a single sentance in gealic, and your asking someone from another country to do it lol get a grip or ill slap the taste outa your mouth, nigger.
wat the fuck are u on about u think ur gona slap me now ?? twat yeah fair enough that is true but it dose not mean that people speak scots. scots has become so diluted that it is hardly worthy of being called a language,
also like to say that Gaelic should be re-named Scottish
the Irish call their national language Irish and it is the fastest growing language in Ireland
obviously not saying that by renaming Gaelic it will become more popular.... ect don't care
hi, i just wanted to say that Scotland is the best country i've ever been to (obviously after colombia ;p my own country)my husband is scottish and i just love your culture...
i always wanted to get your accent but it comes that because of being arround you people it all get into me
haha the onion bridie thing was hilarious. never heard anyone say it before though. im from Glasgow and they'd probably say it something like "gees a plain wan n a onion wan anawl."
Oh don't forget the swiss! They're specialists when it comes to this peculiar genetic modification. In fact they're even much more so than the Germans! The Germans themselves call the swiss dialect "die tönende Halskrankheit" which means "the sounding throat illness"
I have to tell you that the Dutch also have this peculiar genetic modification. Being Dutch, Scottish accent is probably even easier for me to pronounce than RP.
That was hilarious! I'm Austrian, so I can do the "ch" and the "rrr" (Achthundertachtundachzig :-)), I'll try your tipps this summer when I'm in Scotland and see if the people stare at me in a funny way :-).
Great job! I've been laughing for half an hour and added all these phrases to my active Scottish language vocabulary. Actually I am German and spent one year in Edinburgh (pronouncing it in the propper way: "Ednbrraa") during my time at university. It really is easy if your German and your effords trying to speak German are really good. Cheers, Yours Angi
im scottish ( as central as you could get) but i think its more the highlanders that use these very scottish sayings. Havent heard many say these in Glasgow or Edinburgh lol
I forgot to mention that I liked your video. It was very funny in a deadpan sort of way. May I also be so bold to say (I'm a lady by the way) That you are very cute...too bold? On another note, you really should consider a career in stand up comedy. You're too funny!! Keep it up.
I am a Canadian and I had the oppotunity to visit Scotland back in 2002....now then..I don't remember hearing those phrases during my visit. Are you speaking Gaelic outright or are you speaking a mishmash of English with a strong Scottish accent?....just wondering.
I bow to your abilities and am in awe. I won't even attempt to disgrace myself (or dislodge something important in my esophagus) by trying to get my southern American accent around those phrases.
Theres only two parts of Scotland that still speak Scots. The North East and the extreme South West. I know that and I`m not even Scottish. The rest is just English with an accent.
I'm of Scotch, Irish, Swiss-German descent... but I was born in America... Unfortunately, I don't have a camera to post a response, but I swear I can say all that stuff that "English Jim" said. Anyway, sorry I couldn't stun you with my Scotch-Irish tongue. ANyway, "lang may your lum reek!"
Ummm Dude I've lived in scotland ALL my life and the only thing i've actually heard said to me is the first section about the bight moonlight night... only on burns night once lol... and the bridie thing WTF ... never ever heard that... i live around 30/40 miles outside Glasgow.
wow... I have to agree, it is like magic, doing the phrases of nonsense and pronunciation, to actually saying a real phrase. It actually worked, and sounded somewhat believable!
Hey are you translating this to Gaelic? Or what some Scottish people sound like? My dad was born and raised in Greenock, I went there for the summer,and some people sounded like you, my dad sounds like you, are you from there? I don't have the accent though, i'm Canadian! Eh!
Bets are he's from Aberdeenshire, my dad's from around that area, and my dad's uncles speak the dialect he's using (Doric). My grandma has often actually told me "ge away an' bile yer heed". But he's not speaking Gaelic.
my dads from Greenock, and its funny beause the accents can be really easy to understand and then others its like " what?" "are you speaking english" I'm trying to learn Gaelic, its really hard because most of it is like weird noises from your throat lol.
If you achieve anything from this then your "ingin" pronounciation will surely lead to the proper sounding of "minging"! (not ming ging ) .. my pet hate
In 1959 I was on a bus in Glasgow and I heard these 10-12 year old boys I suppose. I didn't have a clue as to what they were saying. But being from Upper Peninsula of Michigan, I do know about pasty brought there by Cornish miners (cousin jacks) and up there we have more a Canadian dialect, eh?
Well that does away with my theory that Scots spoke English! Guess I'll need to buy a translation book when I visit. This is exactly why I have a difficult time learning Hebrew--can't get the 'hocking a lugey' sound going in my throat! Now I know why my ancestors came to America--to get lazy with their language.
I know it's Keltic , but some of the phonetics sound Germanic - both Indo European, I know, but different branches - however, geographically kinda close to one another.

I am a Canadian and I had the oppotunity to visit Scotland back in 2002....now then..I don't remember hearing those phrases during my visit. Are you speaking Gaelic outright or are you speaking a mishmash of English with a strong Scottish accent?....just wondering.

I bow to your abilities and am in awe. I won't even attempt to disgrace myself (or dislodge something important in my esophagus) by trying to get my southern American accent around those phrases.
Thanks for the laughs!

Scottish is a different language killed by the English.

Don't carve the epitaph just yet; Scots is alive and well; as is Scottish Gaelic.

Theres only two parts of Scotland that still speak Scots. The North East and the extreme South West. I know that and I`m not even Scottish. The rest is just English with an accent.

wow... I have to agree, it is like magic, doing the phrases of nonsense and pronunciation, to actually saying a real phrase. It actually worked, and sounded somewhat believable!
Good on ya!

Hey are you translating this to Gaelic? Or what some Scottish people sound like? My dad was born and raised in Greenock, I went there for the summer,and some people sounded like you, my dad sounds like you, are you from there? I don't have the accent though, i'm Canadian! Eh!

Bets are he's from Aberdeenshire, my dad's from around that area, and my dad's uncles speak the dialect he's using (Doric). My grandma has often actually told me "ge away an' bile yer heed". But he's not speaking Gaelic.
therandomnewguy 4 years ago
my dads from Greenock, and its funny beause the accents can be really easy to understand and then others its like " what?" "are you speaking english" I'm trying to learn Gaelic, its really hard because most of it is like weird noises from your throat lol.

If you achieve anything from this then your "ingin" pronounciation will surely lead to the proper sounding of "minging"! (not ming ging ) .. my pet hate

In 1959 I was on a bus in Glasgow and I heard these 10-12 year old boys I suppose. I didn't have a clue as to what they were saying. But being from Upper Peninsula of Michigan, I do know about pasty brought there by Cornish miners (cousin jacks) and up there we have more a Canadian dialect, eh?

Well that does away with my theory that Scots spoke English! Guess I'll need to buy a translation book when I visit. This is exactly why I have a difficult time learning Hebrew--can't get the 'hocking a lugey' sound going in my throat! Now I know why my ancestors came to America--to get lazy with their language.
