One of the main reasons Scottish accents seem so much more extreme to other English speakers is because in many cases, it isn't an accent, its an actual separate language called Scots. Some Scots only speak Scots, some speak both English and Scots separately, and the majority speak a mix of the two. The Scottish also resisted the Great Vowell Shift.

It sounds very interesting, I switch between accents mid-sentence.(When I say English accents, I mean RP) Edit: I did a DNA test recently, found out that I also have Northern English heritage (Yorkshire in specific) only a couple of generations ago on my paternal side. My accent has also changed in the past 10 months, much less posh, got a very distinct South Yorkshire sound to it. The American is almost gone as well. Weird🤷‍♂️

I'm a 74-year-old American man in Southern California and I've been analyzing and practicing the Scottish burr since age 12! I've gotten pretty good at speaking it, but speaking it and understanding it are two different things; I still have a devil of a time understanding what some Scots are saying. When watching KZread, I have to use closed captions to understand the thickest burrs. One of my favorite TV mini-series is "The Field of Blood," starring Scottish actress Jayd Johnson, set it Glasgow, and the many characters in it spoke as many different Scottish dialects. So I had to run closed captions on it to understand most of them. On KZread just the other day, I ran across a video by a Scottish man who rescued a tiny kitten and bicycled around Europe with her. His burr was so thick I could understand less than 5%. When you speak, Erin, I understand about 95% without closed captions. What a relief!

I somehow come across your channel every few years! I started watching back in the BeautyCreep era when I was looking for Scottish accents and you were pretty much it, also everyone was doing the "accent tag" around that time too. Glad to see you're still active "Erin". :-)

I'm Glaswegian and I have to try speak...

My moms from Scotland! So I pretty well understand your accent! In fact I love accents so yeah I’m practicing my Scottish accent, (as I’m a southern American) my mother came to America from Glasgow when she was 18! And she met my dad and had 5 kids (I’m the 5th) And I’ve always been interested in seeing Scotland. I have only been to one country.

I have been watching your videos since I learnt I am moving Glasgow in January. English is not my main Language, because I am Spanish and even though I have been living in England for 7 years the Scottish accent and the slang are just another level. Your videos are so helpful to familiarise myself with the accent and the slang too. I just don’t want to get to Glasgow and look like I am a weirdo , because I can catch a word of what the local people say to me lol 😂

One thing I think people don’t think too much about is the different prosody when speaking with a Scottish accent. That you tend to go down on the stressed syllable and up in the end, as opposed to southern accent where you go up on the stressed syllable and down in the end . I find that particularly interesting since where I come from in Sweden (in Göta-dialects) we basically do the same thing as you, but the rest of Sweden don’t. So when I speak English with a Swedish accent I get a similar prosody as in Scotland.

Ahhh a couple of Scottish guys from elsewhere in Scotland pointed that out to me, so I think it must be area specific

I usually drop my T's and G's! My grandfather is part Scottish, and though I'm in America, maybe I have since characteristics I didn't know about. p.s you're very pretty 😊

Richard Madden is my celebrity crush and I don't really have celebrity crushes. In my 30s fangirling like a teen.

Briljant video , as a pipe drummer from Holland i hang out a lot with Scottish band players and the more drunk i got the more i adopt their accent !

I could listen to you all day! Hello from Donegal.

Hi Erin. I'm from Indonesia and I studied at Aberdeen Uni between 2016-17. To me, Glaswegian accent was the hardest Scottish accent to understand. Edinburgh accent was the easiest, and Aberdonian accent (with occasional Doric phrases) was in between.

I was born in Scotland (Edinburgh) But my family is almost completely English so I don't have a very strong accent but this was very helpful

I remember the first day I arrived at Aberdeen, I didn't have any clue what the people were saying . that was the most terrifying moment in my life as a foreign student.

This was actually very helpful. Thank you!

I loved this!!

I'm from major rural northern New York (closer to Canada than NYC), and the glottal stop is so common where I grew up. When I'm speaking in certain settings, I work harder to pronounce those t's to sound more professional. But in normal day to day speech... I fully embrace my commoner country folk speech.

Agreed.

I think I read that ken is an east coast thing. My hometown used to shorten slang even further. Instead of saying 'I dinnae ken' I usually just blurt out 'ah deh/dae ken'

I'm from the Vale. I moved away to London years ago. So it's nice to hear a familiar accent

you are drop dead gorgeous and your accent is my fave Scottish accent. Been to Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Glasgow!

+Erin It's about magic, love, adventure, and the Highlands.

this video is awesome. ty so much for giving lots of examples :)

I was watching The dragon prince on Netflix, and the accent of the elf captivated me so I did some searching... Your accent is so very lovely 😩❤️❤️❤️

4:57 "Scottish people are weird." Yes but weird in the great way.

Thank you Erin! I'm working on learning different Scottish accents for roleplaying games, and your videos are great :) You speak very clearly and it's easy to make out your different vowels. To me your accent sounds rather similar to a Glaswegian one, would you agree or is it my untrained ear? Is there something you think sets yours apart? (I realise that there are probably huge differences just within Glasgow, but still :) )

I like all your videos you’re so honest. I love Scottish accent and working with Scots is a dream come true.

Love the way you talk. The best.
