  • 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...!)

  • @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

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

    this is a joke, to me he's drunk

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

  • bad audio quality and a cluncky rythmed accent XD

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

  • @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.

  • 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 :)

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

  • 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! :)

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

  • this doesnt even sound like english to me..

  • 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...

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

  • @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....

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

  • 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
