ulster scots
“the ultimate diy language”, as a local politician once eloquently put it.
a ‘dialect’ supposed to be derived from that of scottish settlers who came to ireland a long time ago, however it’s actually not a language at all, and sounds laughably more like someone merely speaking slang words in a ballymena farmer’s accent..
interestingly though, governments seem to be fooled by this quest for lingual recognition, and are happy to throw money at the cause ! maybe they’re just happy that they’re doing something other than drug dealing and whacking each other for a change….
ulster scots:
“ey boy, whers tha wife the day ?”
“ah… shi’ll b back air at home wi tha waynes !”
english translation:
“hey mate, wheres your wife today ?”
“aha, she’ll be back there at home with the children.”
more of a dialec than a language derived form scottish settlers living in northern ireland.
some bright wee prod realised that the catholics were getting eu money for speaking gaelic and decided they wanted a piece of the pie too!
