I’m from the line of Ulster Scots that emigrated to Appalachia in 1717. My grandparents spoke standard English but it was heavily accented with something like this language.
In America most Southerners and Appalachians are actually Ulster-Scots or Scotch-Irish as they were called. It's a bit of a stretch but there is still some similarity in the accent and in Appalachia there are still some Scots words in use.
@@lefeuvivant That's quite the claim for someone that's entirely mistaken. The entire British Isles was populated by Celtic people (Gaels, Britons, Picts) before the Angles and Saxons (and other Germanic peoples) settled in southern and eastern England. Yes, Danish vikings often did raid and rule Northern England and Scotland and left quite an influence there. Still, the Lowland Scots today are much more genetically Celtic than you'd see with people as you go farther south. They also spoke Gaelic before England began their colonization of Scotland. Not to mention, the Anglo Saxons didn't replace, but mixed with the Celtic Britons. Modern day British folk are only about 1/3 Anglo Saxon genetically. Do some reading on the Roman conquests in Britain before the Anglo Saxons ever settled there. Read about Hadrian's Wall, which was 100km south of where Glasgow is today. Lowland Scots were, and still are very much Celtic.

I'm from Northern Alabama in the end of the Appalachian mountain range, The Appalachian accent is directly descended from the Ulster accent. Even here in Alabama an area that was mostly settled by English descent people before Celtic people the accent is dominated by Ulster influence. We pronounce a lot of words quite similarly. The best example of this are words like mirror and power. In Ulster they and Appalachia we both just say mir, and for power here in Appalachia it's typically pronounced pa'er ( pronounced similar to wow) while in Ulster it's said like par.

The Scottish folk who migrated to Appalachia came during the 1700s and 1800s from Ulster as well as from the Highlands. I don’t think there’s much argument that the Highlanders from the Clearances are Celtic, is there? In the USA, they especially went to the Carolinas, then many headed into the Appalachians and then westward from there, especially all over the Southern USA, (e.g., Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, Arkansas) and Ohio Valley. The vast majority of people in the South to this day are still of this heritage, and of course English, Irish, and Welsh, as well. Look up stats on the web and they are all over the place, though.
@@dougcortes6567 Celtic is less an ethnic term and more of a linguistic term, by my understanding of it.

Try speaking with a full-blown doric or shetland speaker and see how much you understand... good luck lol. Then come back with such a highly bigoted and disrespectful comment. Mutual intelligibility is not even what defines a language. With your poor logic you might as well call Portuguese "just spanish with an accent"Norwegians and Swedish people can understand each other without learning the other's native tongue, same goes for Hindu and Urdu speakers, Spanish and Italian speakers and so on. Looks like other speakers of similar languages must be speaking the same language "with just an accent" huh? Scots isn't English because it has distinctions from English such as phonetic and grammatical differences, which you would know if you actually put effort into studying these things instead of making a poorly informed judgement off of some short clips on UA-cam barely displaying the language.
Scots is a language in its own right, including the Ulster-Scots dialect of Scots. It just happens to be somewhat mutually intelligible with Modern English. Take Old Norse and Old English, two distinct languages that were also mutually intelligible to an extent, but distinct nonetheless. This is how sister languages work. Old Norse lives on in the Icelandic language, which Modern English speakers cannot understand. In another 1000 years, it's possible Scots and English will be as mutually intelligible as Modern English and Icelandic are now: not at all.
I suppose it's very difficult to dissect politics from language in this part of the world. I was very good at irish in school, but due to the fact that none of my friends/family speak it, I've definitely lost a bit of it. But I think its silly to say that my Ulster English isn't influenced in small part by scots, and of course the influence of irish in our everyday life. Just accept that if you're from NI, that we are all mixed and who knows where we all come from far enough down the line.
Some interesting comments ..What are the numeric systems, the verb structures, plurals, tenses etc. I don't know can someone tell me ...een, feen, fethera, feen, fence...what is this in Ulster Scots? Some of the words I can see on the list seem to me to be just matters of accent or dialect and were in use in my home county in the 1950s.
I have been watching the delightful "Derry Girls" series in which everyone speaks in a Northern Irish accent. I was surprised to hear the words "wee" and "wain" (wee yin) used regularly, which are considered uniquely "Scottish" slang words here in Australia. It appears that Ulster Scots has had a major influence on modern English in North Ireland.

Rob McRob I do not, friend. I was brought up speaking English. But I also speak the Irish language quite will through learning it at school and spending time in rural parts of Donegal.
This is a different language, not even close to an accent. The spelling is much different from English, an example of this would be the 'gh" in English, is "ch" in scots. The criteria for this to be considered a dialect is not met. Scots is simply closely related to English, it just wasn't effected by the Norman French conquest of England. As an American, I can understand maybe a few words per sentence, but it doesn't make sense to me, worse than a strong accent.
Because Modern English and Scots BOTH came from the language of Middle English. Scots is a direct decent from MIDDLE ENGLISH NOT MODERN ENGLISH. You can understand middle English mostly right??? For example, Shakespeare. You can understand Shakespeare and he is talking an other language because modern English can sound similar but not the same!!

@another pleb heritage is only as good as it serves a purpose to life TODAY. In the now. Time could be better spend on life skills and better relationships. 😉
@streetmuggedbypolice Its not about shopping.
However, money management does not hurt along with that gainful employment and investing for retirement.
That said health and interpersonal relationships may be placed above money but I would not suggest living on the streets. 😉
Praticle life skills.
If you worry for yourself, ma'am, and they worry for their own, then we'll all be happy.
