Okay, I'll help ye oot: lesson one: there is no Scottish accent. There's West and East Highlands, Lowlands, Glaswegian, and Ulster freaks. They're no the same.

Get tae fuck. Thats one

i do that but with a german accent so that i sound even more pissed HEY SWINE VAT DID YOU SAY TO ME

Bro, you sound like a twat when you try to do a Scottish accent and insult people, there isn’t even a singular Scottish accent there are many

wit the fuck are you daeyin

Adrian Ramsey same but I’m just trying to sound like Shrek because I love our ogre lord

Your going the right way for a smacked bottom

Brilliant

Glad your thinking so highly of Scotland

Same bro except I’m not playing him a school musical, I just wanna talk like shreck

Really?

Cameron Robertson Most definitely! 😉

Thanks!

Definitely.

Wish it worked that way on the Scottish birds

😂

I love the Scottish accent especially Glasgow 😂

Your comment has a lot value. It shows that what we stereotypically think of regiional accents are usually stronger than what actual speakers speak.

Wow really

I'm from the Caribbean and for the 2nd time in the past hour people said I sound Scottish

sound like english this guy

Possibly englander

I'm Scottish

Guys its called a joke

It’s an RP accent

how can I learn the Scottish Accent? I love Scottish Accent,

Bünyamin Albayak Ahah, well it's very thick and we have our own words instead of english words

+Rachael Slaven im Scottish and I can easily do the accent I moved to England when I was 4 then I lost it but I can under stand everything in the Scottish language. im from Aberdeen

+Rachael Slaven I'm Serbian and I love Scottish accent, it's bloody awesome!

Yeah I'm Scottish soooooo

Omg i love that trainer

What makes me a good demoman? An accent, apparently.

Soap Mactavish :)

I tried a Scottish accent in class. I'm home schooled.

where's conductor

That's the inflection you're describing, like how in most dialects you tend to raise in pitch when asking a question

That makes sense to me; it's like the main part of what is being communicated, particularly in an emotional sense comes through with that word

Omg it does. I didn’t even notice I did that. (Ya this video is very generalised because there is different accents in Scotland within a 10 mile radius from each other.)

Yea we dae that

I read that in a Scottish accent, and without even forcing it, but instead slowly realizing as I continued reading, you're actually right. I guess you could say it sorta comes naturally.

Yeah, the most phonetic english accent ever. Easier for me.

As someone from Kenya I couldn't agree more. Scottish accent is very clear and understandable.

okay yeah thats probably a reason why people say i sound scottish sometimes! im finnish so i tend to pronounce some words close to how theyre written

Bro how do yall understand stand this dhit bro 💀

Aye

Same my dude

I actually came here for demoman

I came because I'm in love with Outlander series

lmaoooooooo 💀

Same

That's awesome

Same here

Lmao same

I’m in this comment and I don’t like it

sou português também e sempre achei mais fácil! também ajuda que o meu pai é escocês ahaha

Mais um português para a conversa! (Se bem que sou rapariga) Eu estou aqui porque em junho eu e a minha mãe vamos à Escócia e queremos ver quem consegue fazer o melhor sotaque. Um fator a nosso favor (portugueses) é a grande diversidade fonética da nossa língua. Poucas línguas têm tantos sons e isso ajuda-nos muito quando tentamos aprender novas línguas e sotaques.

Let's goooo, outros tugas à procura do sotaque escocês

lol

you talked me into it

me because I am Scottish ^-^

that accent is adorable

me XD

tigergirl305 since u r Scottish u don’t hear your accent cause ur used to it people from other places ask me about my accent but I don’t know I have one

@@piggyplayz6202 I don't have an accent but my parents do cuz they were raised in Africa and ppl say they have and accent but since I love with them I don't hear it

Except you do. People rarely analyze their own accent so when they hear someone else analyze it, they aren’t aware of how they sound.

It depends where your from tbh I’m from the highlands so our accents are like a mix of American and posh Englishman unless we’re angry then the accent comes out but down south it’s more of a stereotypical chewbacca learns how to sound Irish lol and forgets how to say the letter a

Easy lad

I WAS THINKING.*conductor is that you?*

I read this in merrida's voice xD

its naw duhhhh

+Phoenix MSP 😂😂

Aye ya lassy, ya do.

galihvevo ranggalih no I'm Scottish and that's only slang like no one says noh 😕

Вы уверены, что?

Yeah and it's not that we all necesarrily roll our 'r's but we just say them rather than being all English with an 'aaaaaahhh' we just say 'are'.

Also, we have the same first name :)

It's exaggerated but that's how you learn to speak in a different accent.

Sure he sounds it but the words he speaks r completely wrong why does he say birds like that 😂 im scotish btw and 11 years old

Erin Heaney It is a wee bit off, but I had to go back and listen again to see what you meant. Arichty fae Dundee btw :P

+Leyla Polar Ewan McGregor actually, but him too.

I live in Hong Kong and I was born in the southern general hospital. unlike you, I moved from scotland to Hong Kong when I was 2 years old so I lost the accent and I am desperately trying to get it back.

My arse. An American going to a school in glasgow? That’s amazing.

@@davidgraham370 its 8 years late, but im having an exact opposite situation now, from hong kong to scotland and got a Scottish accent now

@@Jamie-kv9egI’m doing the same but I’m Edinburgh lol

Knowing they're different countries puts you ahead of most Americans

I'm Scottish and both sound right to me but used in different ways including husnae or it might just be regional... he husnae ( hasn't)done that...they huvnae (haven't)goat/got it. I havnae ( have not) been there before. All mean the same thing but but how the sentence is said is what word and what it saying obv determines which way it gets said. Love from Scotland xxxx

i felt that

I am at least a year late but I saw somewhere that if you say 'udder' multiple times quickly, you might get a rolled R at the end of the word. Works with 'ladder' and 'butter' too (I think) Otherwise, just try or train it until you get it right. That's what I did when I was little and then I finally got it right.

@@evehellod9776 It worked with 'ladder' for me, thanks for this advice :)

The tongue roll takes a lot of practice.

ama yeah i don't roll my r's and most people i know don't, except my grandparents but i can do it it's just not normal for me.

@@arthurthedeaddealerofbread6432 cos stills heaveah than feders

@林 bu' Stills heaveah 'han feders

i can do this HAHA but i can't grasp saying normal sentences in the accent

Where are you from?

Jesse Pinkman I live in Australia, I used to work with people who are Scottish. and they sound completely different to what this guy was doing.

***** You could just have a different accent. He did say generalized Scottish English but there are other Scottish accents. Or maybe you don't live near people who roll r's?

Its not difficult i actually try hard to not roll my rs 😂

Where abouts are you in Scotland? I'm fae Irvine!!! I've just noticed I do depending on the word where the r is lol

Dundee.

Im hispanic and I can only roll my rs once.

mineraftguy123 OMG SAMEEE.... GIT IN MA BELLEE ^-^

***** Though languages change as they are organic, thus an expression of not just the particular individual (quality of mind, geography, ideals, organs), but of a whole population. Affected by demographic shifts, warfare, idealistic change, trade, inter-marriages, isolation; still a language will adjust to the people; hence a clear differentiation between Ebonics and the English branches developed by the diverse European populations. Thus, even though the English language is more or less bastardized Latin, it is bastardized in the sense that the pronunciation has been adjusted over time by the people, thus a more Germanic expression in such regards. Though Dutch and German are similar in many regards, the differences in certain pronunciations are very clear; as we have ''ch'' as they also have in the Arabic and Hebrew language. But I find Dutch to have more in common with Swedish. The Germanic branches are rich; but indeed the Scottish dialect is interesting.

***** dont discount the Saxon influence as well, considering Lower Scotland was invaded by the Saxons/Angles

Did ye aye?

Peter Capaldi

Dinny ferget Karen Gillan

Did you make it

Same

Ikr

Really, I thought everyone could do it. But the. Again both of my parents are from Mexico, and "r's" are rolled in Spanish.

Traditionally (originally) Scots dialect only has tapped or rolled r's, so if you heard a Scots person in 1800s speak you would never hear an english or american r. However, since WW2 due to globalisation and increased education, migration and media the 'normal r' has been increasingly adopted. Most folk now speak on a 'class continuum'- lower/working classes in urban or rural communities tend to always tap/roll there r's, while middle classes increasing use less r tapping as you move up the wealth ladder (ie. 'Water' with an american r but 'girl' with a tapped r and two syllables for example) until theres none. This makes sense since middle class and higher are more likely to have links to a different country (america, england, ireland) and this is reflected in their speech and the tapped r's must be one of the first features to be lost probably. Come tae the east coast around Dundee, fife and Perth - you'll hear plenty of r tapping!

yeah but you send people rolling after them.

How was it

hahahhaha

I actually grew up in currie hill,Edinburgh around 6-10 years old then moved back to malaysia. All my old friends talk funny. o.O

I've pretty much tried to do it by imitating Demoman from TF2
