so i've been trying to watch this scottish sitcom on netflix, and i can only understand like 60-70% of what these people are saying. is scots legitimately a different dialect of English? can any goons from the British isles weigh in on this?

The scottish accent, like a real scottish accent and not a hollywood one is atrociously bad and sounds like someone has poo poo in their mouth when they talk.

Scotland has lots of different accents, the Shetland accent (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xfzaa0Ly1kk) is different the the Glasgow accent and the Glasgow accent is different to the Edinburgh accent only 45 miles away with lots of different variations inbetween!!!

Consolevania/Videogaiden, Chewing the Fat, Downtimetoon and Burnistoun are all funny Scottish shows I like to watch that none of the Americans around me can decipher.

That's to be expected, I have to ask my Scottish friends to repeat every sixth or eighth line.

just pronounce all the letters, that's what we do, it's what we've always done also what the gently caress why would you ever use a glutteral stop, it sounds like that warning tic humans give off when they're about to throw up

Interesting Fact: A lot of the Scots that immigrated to North America during the Highland Clearances settled in the American deep south ie Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma. I think this speaks volumes.
