The Scottish Accent
Since Ee Wan raised this up, then I shall blog about it.
Actually, Scottish accent is pretty easy to spot. The tone they speak... they just go down and up, and down and up... fairly simple actually. Just imagine taking a rollercoaster. Those ppl in the Midlands tend to go up and down. Irish people, I think Yan Leng can describe it better. Ee Wan, I really dunno how to demonstrate this but you can google it if you are really interested. hahaha
Also, Scotts tend to speak 'Yes' as 'Aye'! Aye aye Captain Jack!
As for the 'r's, they tend to pronounce is as 'l'. Aye, it sound like Japanese, but it is not. So let's say the word 'morag', you take away the 'r' and replace it with an 'l', so it will be pronounced as 'molag'. Ok get it? Try the above and see whether you can fool an authentic Scottish. hahahaha
Unfortunately, I haven't pick up a Scottish accent yet. So demo audio har. Actually there's not much Scottish people to learn from, so i'll see how it goes and till then, baa woof!
