Airt: Aberdeenshire originally, now Wales
Living in Wales it is fascinating to watch how the Welsh people have fought for Welsh to be recognised as an official language. Now, all bills, all official letters, payslips etc arrive in both English and Welsh. Like another of your signees I too was brought up in a system where it was not acceptable to speak in dialect. I am very concerned that I have much less knowledge of the language than my grandmother and my children have even less. We are in danger of this becoming a lost language - what a pity. Can I refer to Teach yourself Doric by Douglas Kynoch? Amusing yet educational!! Thanks for this site, I have enjoyed it.

It is as good as a £100 module at Aberdeen University Local Studies! Thank-you, Andy Eagle, for coming in on the Moray Claik, which was how I found the site. I am a native Scots speaker, and will have some work included in the next AU collection of Scots poetry for North-east schools. Having been educated in a system which prohibited the use of Scots, I dinna like usin't amon strangers like yersels. people have fought for Welsh to be recognised as an official language.
