[@lindanorrie5323]

I first visited Aberdeenshire in 1968, to meet the family of my future husband. At that time I was absolutely bewildered by the accent, it felt as if I was listening to a foreign language. Over time I came to know and love the dialect but I have never forgotten the terror I felt if someone spoke directly to me, on many occasions I had to request a translation from my future husband.

[@SpeedyWings2323]

Did he had that accent when you met him or was it something he lost overtime

Fantastic. My great grandparents were from the NE of Scotland and I recall some phrases and vocab. They were incomprehensible unless they took pity on our bewilderment and spoke "Canadian" for us. They have been gone for many years but their speech is such a great memory I have of them. Regional accents/dialects are the most interesting language of all.

[@2DogsVlogs]

@@rjgonzalez9220 Gaelic is the native tongue. Scotts & Doric came about when gaelic was banned. I'm from Aberdeen and I speak scotts, so some of the emphasis is different. Grandad was from Shapensay (Orkney) & Nanna from Harris (Scotland) so we are a we bit different.

[@Hatypus]

@@2DogsVlogs Scots predates the ban of Gaelic by a long time, emerging out of the Anglo-Saxons of Northumbria South of the Forth. The two languages existed alongside one another.

[@notaname8140]

​@@rjgonzalez9220 No, Gaelic belongs to a completely different language family called the Goidelic languages, which is a branch of Celtic languages. It's loosely related to Welsh (they're both Celtic languages, but that's pretty much where the similarities stop), and both of them were nearly wiped out by English
