thought this might be fun
us Scottish folk speak English and can understand east enders
but most folk south of the border have major difficulty understanding Scottish people
our slang and dialects are like a different language to them
same goes for Americans and other nations apart from the Dutch, funnily we use the same slur's
and a lot of common terms that the dutch have no difficulty in understanding

anyway I found a great little online English to Scottish language converter The Online Scots Dictionary
so we can try to teach our southern friends and others some of the colonial members
some of our mother tongue and some phrases that will come in handy
if they ever visit Scotland

lets do some basic's

wadna ken onywhaur A kin git sum puff
translates to
do you know any where I can get some cannabis

A kud fair murder a swallae the nou
translates to
I would really love a cold beer right now

ave goat a sair heid ya numpty
translates to
I've got a sore head you idiot

try yourself this is the link to the English to scottish words

"Get out of my way" translates to "Gut oot me wee".

I'm not Scottish, by the way.
