  • โ€œSpeakers with a more vernacular Scottish accent seem to delay their โ€˜Rโ€™ gesture making it hard to hearโ€

    This means ye sassenachs have tae learn Scots the noo โ€“ but it was predicted nearly 30 years ago :laugh_at:

    Younger Scots โ€˜losingโ€™ their rolling Rs โ€“ BBC News

    I seen a story about this in a tabloid a few days ago and took a few photos so i didnโ€™t have to buy the paper. hadnโ€™t got around to reading it yet but the headline was โ€˜Death to the Scottish Accentโ€™ I think they are blaming broadcasters who speak in the Queens English for this.

    I myself think all Scots should get into a routine of rolling their Rโ€™s with saying โ€˜Round the Rock the Ragged Rascal Ranโ€™ at least once a day

    Have you walked 500 miles? Have you walked 500 more?

    Find out if you are entitled to compensation by ringing the pro-claimers now onโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ.

    The Proclaimers are one of the most popular tracks on Dutch pirate stations in Groningen provinceโ€ฆ.

    It is true the Scottish media is diluted by networking from English stations; but I believe the Proclaimers more than the tabloids. Folk have different dialects across Scotland, some use the R and others do not (if they donโ€™t use the R some English people cannot understand them!) It may coincidentally be less common in Gronings dialect than Standaardnederlandsโ€ฆ
