Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms Local dialect

I reckon its sad that Scots need to rename their local dailect of English as the Scots language. It isnt. Its just a regional dialect like lots of others in the UK

Comments by Keith and Dean on the wots my grammar like thread got me thinking.

Coming from a rural background in Aberdeenshire I was constantly told in school " could you repeat that in English please" this was back when there was a directive to schools to stamp out the use of the Scots language or in my case the Doric dialect.

I believe it is now being taught as a subject in some if not all schools like Gaelic is in the west coast. Personally I think this is good, local culture should not be forgotten.

I'm sure this must have happened in many other areas of the country? Or was it just me

Any recollections?
