      Thanks for your comment. The Scottish accent is a set of standard features found across Scotland. The Glasgow accent is a regional accent which contains many of the same features but may contain some differences.

    Hola Ed. Una pregunta.
    Cuando se habla de "Ingles Britanico", se refiere al Ingles de Reino Unido en general?? O se refiere al Ingles que se habla especificamente en Inglaterra??.
    Te hago esta pregunta, porque los Escoceses tambien son Britanicos, pero ellos si pronuncian la R.
    Y el Ingles Britanico se caracteriza por ser un Inglés no rotico.

    • @LeanEnglishPronunciation
      @LeanEnglishPronunciation  Рік тому +3

      'Inglés Británico' se refiere al acento estándar que enseñan en colegios por el mundo, también conocido como Received Pronunciation. Es parecido al acento del sudeste de Inglaterra pero incluso en esa región hay varios acentos. Lo explico más en este video: ua-cam.com/video/ZtD8bruCHw0/v-deo.html

    A brave attempt. But I cannot say that you master Scottish pronounciation---in any of the varied accents. Interesting, though. Have you ever heard the Doric of Aberdeen and its surroundings? Or the northern isles, or even fife? or the many others? And to address anyone as "bonnie lass" is Northren English, and would not be appreciated in Scotland, where it would sound condescending.

      Thanks for your comment! I recommend you learn Received Pronunciation (the standard British accent) because you will be understood by everyone. However, you should listen to Scottish English to improve your listening skills.

    as far as i know the scots accent is very unbalenced towards the front side of the mouth when it comes to vowels. the phonemes i pick out of my own accent are
    i
    ɪ ʏ
    e ə o
    ɛ ʌ ɔ
    a
    au aʏ ai ɔi iə ia əi ua
    if you want wikipedia levels of depth, here
    ɪ ʏ are typically pronounced more like true mid vowels. e̞ and ø̞. same with o as o̞.
    rs are usually only tapped word finally
    this is just me personally, i have a central scottish accent but not from either of the major cities. i just want to add more information to the pool.

    I don't know where you got your research, but as a 30 year old Scottish person, I have to heavily disagree with much of your explanations, and pronunciations. Your pronunciation is very off, and sounds like another language. It could be the sources you are reading describe the pronunciation this way, but it definitely isn't correct, neither is is consistent with the majority of the country. The way it is described sounds more like trans-morphing an English sentence into some fantasy Scandinavian language. I don't mean any disrespect, I understand languages and accents are difficult, but if you are acting as an authority to teach others, then this is not a great example.

    There are many different accents in Scotland. We do not all speak in the way you suggest. Someone in Inverness does not speak in the same way as someone in Aberdeen or Edinburgh etc. I have never said hoose ever in my life. To lump us all together is like saying all English speak the same way. Many of the words you mention as Scots actually come from the Doric not the Scots language.
