What is the ambient song that you use?

Wwhat is the ambient song?

I grew up in the West of Scotland. I moved away but Limmy is pure nostalgia for me.

Proto-Germanic is purely theoretical bullshit.

your translation of 4:01 is wrong. he doesn't say "an' aw" at the end, he just says "naw?" as in "no?"

I always understood "weans" as "wee little ones"

I'm pretty sure hing is the only example of dropping the t. I don't think it's a rule.

Part of what makes the wee thing funny is the accent. I come from an area where ye hear people speaking a wee bit a ulster-scots but I cannae tell what they are saying half the bloody time & not being able to understand it makes it kinda funny in a funny sorta way.

The language IS what makes the show for me, it would lose a lot if it wasn't done in the Glasgow dialect. The SNP leader Stephen Flynn has a wonderful accent I reckon. You just need to listen with better ears :)

She's turned the weans against us

Underrated video, personally I prefer the word Source

What's the song?

My favorite underground channel!

It’s a challenge to anyone else in Scotland. About as funny as a collection of corroded hacksaw blades.

its..shit

Northern England version of The Sopranos. The Smiths? Would love to see it.

2:30 "Brothers and sisters are natural enemies! Like Englishmen and Scots! Or Welshmen and Scots! Or Japanese and Scots! Or Scots and other Scots! Damn Scots! They ruined Scotland!" --Groundskeeper Willie

Thanks for that video, been looking for smth like this ever since I watched The Sopranos.

@14:39 James Gandolfini absolutely has a NJ accent, it’s just a lot more subtle than that of Tony Soprano.

Nice analysis of the inguistical nuances of some of weegie colloquialisms. I'm sure many of us are surprised, impressed & educated at the depth of oor ain mither tongue explored here. Sehr intressant

No one in new jersey talks like them tho, unless they're italians from New York

Could sun's sister synthgunt have relation to sunth?

yer baws!

-PIE for moon means measure. -Germanic elves could refer to noble dead in barrows. -Elves call the moon the “measure of years” 🌝🤔

What is still hwat. Not much change.

7:13 ye sound so seductive 😂

The show was unwatchable due to the overly modern-sounding German. I would have preferred this.

Bawbags!

I just realized the guy with the tigar pelt has a freeking eagle made of solid gold! Do you know how expencive and highly valued those where!? No way a legionary eagle would be traveling arround outside of its legion where bandits could ambush and steal it.

I've always wondered why me as a swedish person had such an easy time understanding Limmy when compared to native english speakers from England or the US specifically, but there being both more norse influences as well as more preserved germanic features/words from old english explains it

Giz is Scouse as well as North east. Remember Yosser. No one Drops T's quite like Teesside though, Butter literally becomes Boro

Lundun ... fuck knows 😂😂😂😂

Ahhhh so this is what goes on in a privileged persons head when 99% of the world communicates with them.

always find it amusing when certain middle class English types refer to nations like Scotland or Wales as "regions", while the UK, by which they mean England, is the standard, norm, or centre of the world. Did I say "amusing"? I meant, colonial.

When he says yer phone an aw, he means your phone as well, not your phone and everything else. For example, you could ask for a bag of chips then say oh an a mars bar an aw.

The new Dune is very "national geographic".

are english people real

Interesting. My name Teja is more loosely translated to ‘the sun’ in Telugu from the Sanskrit ‘Tejas’ which translates to ‘radiant or filled with fire’ and as an adjective to ‘intelligent, sharp’ but the oldest rigvedic reference is to ‘the sharpest point’ in describing Indra’s (re:Zeus) thunderbolts or the tip of a fire. The root is the PIE ‘s)teyg-‘ which means sharpness and becomes in proto-Germanic the parent of the literal ‘stick’ (sharp thistle). In pro-Latin it becomes in(stigo), identical to the modern instigate in meaning (basically poking someone with a sharp object metaphorically to rouse them). In proto-Hellenic, (s)teyg becomes stigma which originates through branding people or property with a sharp object with the sharpness of ‘stigma’ transferring over from the instrument to be defined by the act of branding itself. And so forth and so on
