Phlegmish posted:While that's presumably true, I feel like that goes for the majority of British English dialects I think you're probably right. Is this correlated to how far north one is? Any goons with more ears on experience care to comment?

Nah there are unintelligible accents all over the country, even in London there was once the cockney dialect which could be confusing to outsiders if they were using the full slang and a deep accent, though it's largely died off now.

basically Scots is one part a dialect continuum of "how much french got added to your anglo-saxon," and at the Most Scots-y it's "basically none" and it genuinely is a full language at the far end, but also basically no Scots speakers speak that zero french Scots.

I'm half Scottish and have lived in Scotland most of my life. I work for a big American company and regularly (well, did) travel over for work. It was a running joke/party trick with my coworkers that I could move between speaking in Scots from where I grew up and Scottish inflected English at will, and they would understand maybe 20% of the former and all of the latter. So if you're going to make an argument about its position on the dialect to patois to language spectrum, that's fine, I'm not sure about that myself - but saying it's just badly spelled English is a load of absolute pish. I can code switch at will with fellow Scottish people as a joke and become vastly less immediately intelligible to people from the south and often do for fun. Also, Scotaboos and American people saying "oh I'm Scaadish too!" when their great great great granny was are the actual worst

Is it too late for me to do my planned genocide of the cockney peoples by playing the opposite sound of Bow Bells, canceling the noise, thereby preventing anyone from being born within earshot (the traditional identifier of a cockney)?

To be perfectly honest the closest the average Scottish person gets to Scots language is on Burns night. Yes there are a bunch of people who speak their regional heavily accented and slang laden versions of English who would fervently claim it’s Scots but the reality is that aside from the odd surviving bits and pieces it’s hardly the same thing. There are people who genuinely speak it but to most people it’s a cultural relic that’s been supplanted by something much closed to standard English with an accent.

People now might struggle to understand young people from London now due to Multicultural London English to be fair, what with all the slang that comes from, shock horror, non white countries.

I was up in the northeast and could hardly understand the taxi driver I had, with his thick Doric accent. I hear people from the Hebrides/out West are harder to understand but I never went there nor met anyone from there. It’s a great place full of cool people with weird accents. As far as it being just badly spelled English, I suggest going there and talking to some people, particularly working class or people in rural areas. It definitely becomes more than an accent the farther out you go.
