@@markanderson5298 Yeah, I thought the same. Granted, he is speaking a bit faster but was still audible. It tends to be we speak faster when we're speaking to someone with the same accent, but that guy went full ham on those innocent people. 😅
I was on a train in London years ago with my father in-law who was from India but who spoke perfect English. A Scottish guard came on and I was talking to him for a few minutes. After he'd gone my Father in-law asked in all sincerity "I know you were answering that man in English but what language was he speaking?"
Your Scottish accent imitation actually sounds more like a Belfast accent rather than any accent from Scotland itself. It's actually a pretty good impression of a protestant Belfast accent.
The reason why other countries struggle with our various dialects of Scots and it’s accents, is because they are unfamiliar with them. We hear American and English accents every day on tv and film but you rarely hear ours.
Glaswegians have whats called a Tapped R, so we kinda say it twice, or maybe roll it depending on the word. So World becomes Wur-rld because the R is tapped.
It's because Scots grew up beside English it uses a lot of the same words (like the Scandanavian languages) but the influence of Gaelic and Norse is still there. So we invent syllables that aren't there (like Alba = ala-puh). We also use Gaelic pronunciations for letters instead of Germanic/Norman; like how in Scotland Primark is pronounced Pree-mark rather than Prai-mark (the more Anglicisation in the area the more probability of hearing Prai-mark, think Highland Clearences and you'll get me).
I'm living in England & I'm orginally from Paisley, when my kids talk to their mates they speak with an English accent, but when they talk to me, they talk with the broad Scottish accent.
they are punctuation for us lol if we are thinking of what to say next in a conversation we replace the comma with the word f***king where other countries would say uhh or ehh
The problem with understanding the Scots accent is the speed at which we talk. I've visited America on a number of occasions And found if I speak s l o w e r I am understood.
I had to dress up as Hagrid for a Harry Potter birthday party... I spent a lot of time working on a West Country accent! Evidently it's the accent that American's associate most with pirates.
i'm from the west coast of Scotland just 25 miles south of Glasgow ... i had to slow down how i spoke because when i was younger i had a bad stutter, slowing down my speech helped ... i'm originally from a rural part of Scotland, now i live in a large town next to Europe's only all weather airport and that part of Ayrshire (Rabbie Burns land) has a less strong accent than the rest of Ayrshire
The trick to speaking with a Glaswegian accent is to blend all of the words in a sentence and turn them into one giant word. Example: What are you on about? (means "what are you talking about?") Glaswegian: Whityeoanaboot? Example: Are you going out tonight? Glaswegian: Yegaunootthenight? Example: Your mother has testicles and your father does the dishes. Glaswegian: Yermawsgoatbawsanyerfaitherduzthedishes! With a little practice, you'll quickly get the hang of it. Y'bawbag.
British accents aren't really a thing, I feel your meaning an English accent, technically all accents from the Uk would be considered "British Accents" that would include English accents, Scottish accents, Welsh accents etc (there's also hundreds of different accents within each constituent country).
As a Kiwi I can easily understand the Scottish accent, and when I went to Scotland I didn't have any problems. They could also understand me perfectly well. In the US I had to speak really slowly otherwise Americans couldn't understand what I was saying most of the time.
Yes! In the US we often only think of Irish, Scottish, and English. All of which would just be various forms of English in our minds... but there’s way more to it than just that!
And Welsh. Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland, England and Ireland are all different countries with their own accents and dialects.Those 60 accents are just the English ones lol
60 seems a conservative estimate to me. I'm a British guy from the outskirts of Southampton which is a city on the South Coast and trust me, the accent changes with a 20 minute drive down to Portsmouth. (Why on earth you'd want to drive down to Portsmouth in your right mind though I have no idea!)
The SNP MP is called Alan Brown (Google him) and he comes from a small town in Ayrshire called Newmilns - which is where I’m from. He stays not far from me (about a 10 minute walk) 😊

So funny listening to you both react. I take it you watch Outlander from the song you sang lol. The Outlander film studio is here in my home town (Cumbernauld). The Scottish accent is very varied - not everyone is hard to understand though.
You should differentiate between some one speaking English with a Scottish accent, speaking the Scots Language( not Gaelic ) and someone speaking a local dialect with some Scots and Gaelic words mixed in. Because I think you believe all the words will be English just said differently.
I’ve recently started listening to Iona Fyfe, she is a Scottish singer. Before her, I don’t think I ever knew of The Scots language. I think it’s pretty common in the US to think of Scottish as being just English with a different accent, but there’s more to it than that!
The MP, Alan Brown (Kilmarnock and Loudoun) is a friend of mine. I don't know if he's seen this so I'll send it to him. If you think that was bad, try when he's had a drink! ☺️☺️
I would figure it would be hard for non-native English speakers to understand Scottish accents but I find it funny Americans struggle too, then again I am English and grew up around Scots. I don't have issues understanding thick Southern American accents, however.
When watching Rab C Nesbit (a Scottish comedy), my sister had to translate it for her English husband. I think eventually they watched it with the subtitles on.
I live in Scotland and it is so hard to understand them because they use short words and somehow invented by them. The English I know is a lot different from what they see
I suppose a lot of understanding dialects is how used you are to them. The second speaker was from Edinburgh, where I grew up. Not surprisingly, I understood every word he said. As others have hinted, the accent in Glasgow and the surrounding area is (to me at least) very different. The (now former) MP in the video, Alan Brown, comes from Kilmarnock, where I have found difficulty in understanding what some (but not all) of the locals say, because they seem to have this variation on what we Edinburghers probably incorrectly call a Glasgow accent and speak very fast. Another Scottish accent I find difficult to comprehend is The Doric, which is a very broad accent spoken in the north-east of Scotland, particularly around Fraserburgh.
I grew up in Canada, so I speak North American English and for me understanding Scottish English is pretty hard. I understand very well all variations of American English, even Southern speakers. But when it comes to Scottis, Irish or even some British I struggle. I had to watch Game of Thrones with captions on to understand.
It's funny going on holiday, being from Glasgow, if I bump into anyone else from Britain they struggle to understand me, especially when drunk and I forget to speak slower and more 'proper' lol
The SNP guy at the very beginning is/was an MP called Angus B MacNeil He's a First language Gaelic Speaker Meaning Scots is his second language I think he's from the Isle of Skye Certainly The western Ilse Indeed he represents/Represented as Member of Parliament Na h-Eileanan an Iar Which literally means Western Isles in Scots Gaelic

She says "every time I hear an accent" - well I've got news for you - You HAVE an accent. Americans have this dreadful habit of commenting on accents and trying to imitate them. No goes up to American and tries to imitate their accent - its just rude and annoying.
The first MP was really easy for me to understand. I'm from Pennsylvania and we have some weird mixes of Scottish, British, Welsh, German, and some other accents all mixed in. It was a thick accent, but it wasn't difficult to understand
In Scotland a lot of us talk very quickly and as a result we shoten a lot of words. The main reason is because our mouth needs to keep up with our brain :)
That was three accents out of a thousand ,every mile in any direction the accent will change .that does not include foreign nationals who pick up the accent the east coast is very difficult at times , and I'm from Dundee .
As Americans I know when you say British you mean English, but Scotland is apart of Britain. Scotland is 'british' accent, although 'british accent' alone is quite a vague thing to say, in England alone there are countless different accents that sound nothing alike to one another.
In Ireland you could travel 4 miles out the road and get a slightly different accent. I’m pretty sure Britain is the same. American isn’t old enough to have developed the array of accents the “old world” has.
Exactly. When you talk about Received Pronunciation, RP, which is the Roya Family's pronunciation you undertand very easily ( I am from Toronto, Canada) but some British Dialects can be quite or impossible to undertand.
Was in state side 40 years ago,, we Engish have Dialects in Scotland Glasgow they own English in Edinburgh agin but more English thip in west high lands speak English well, like Yorkshire =Lancashire . I till yee right.

Great video. You do seem to say British when I think you specifically meant English. They are not the same thing. For the moment at least (maybe until the next independence referendum) Scots are British too, as much as the English are. I was in New York and ordered a coffee and the woman commented that she loved my accent. I was surprised as I’m sure lots of English people visit and indeed live in NYC so I wasn’t expecting it there.
Britain isn’t a country. It’s a geographical term, comprising the islands of Great Britain, Ireland, Isle of Mann, Scily Isles, Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles.

I remember working a market stall with a friend of mine and we pitched up next to a Scottish bloke. I spent a good hour gassing with the guy (the Scot I mean) and when I was done my friend was amazed I could understand any of it. Course' it helps I grew up with a bunch of Glaswegians.
I’m from Aberdeen, born and raised but live in USA now. All family still in Aberdeen. Aberdonian doric has got to be one of the hardest Scottish accent for an American to understand, more so than Glaswegian.
Calling Scottish accents posh 😂😂😂 Go to Glasgow. I recommend easterhouse,maryhill,castlemilk or posso. Glasgow accent has about five different accents lol.
There are hundreds more Scottish accents than that. And I'm from the area that Outlander is based and their accents are wrong, they are lowland accents.
To explain . The man talking about the difference between Glasgow and Edinburgh was wrong . The Glasgow accent is more on a level whereas the Edinburgh accent will sing you a wee song . This really is the pure dead mental truth ( a bit Glasgow there ).
Woah, that makes sense but it never even crossed my mind! In the states we always say a "British accent" when we really mean an "English accent." Kinda like... I've always wondered how Canadians feel about people calling the USA "America" when Canada is part of North "America"
I’m Scottish born and bread not British, the title British was imposed on the Scottish people. Scottish accents are there own thing. Before anyone saying what’s on your passport it says British but I’ve seen thousands of lies written on paper before. We know when you say British accent you mean English not Scottish, Irish or Welsh. We’re all said to sing when we talk the English speak. Scottish people roll our Rs in every regional accent...hardest Scottish accents to understand even for us is the Aberdeen accent.

I’m from Aberdeen, born and raised but live in USA now. All family still in Aberdeen. Aberdonian doric has got to be one of the hardest Scottish accent for an American to understand, more so than Glaswegian.
Calling Scottish accents posh 😂😂😂 Go to Glasgow. I recommend easterhouse,maryhill,castlemilk or posso. Glasgow accent has about five different accents lol.
I would say dug, naw dog.
1:20 That's because you live in America
There are hundreds more Scottish accents than that. And I'm from the area that Outlander is based and their accents are wrong, they are lowland accents.
Scottish people have problems annunciating certain words. If you want to annoy us ask us to pronounce the name 'Carl'. It physically hurts us.
Am a fifer and we aw have different dialects lol
Scattish! 😁
Outlander Fans? 😍😁❤️
apparently woman from texas love scottish men
“Irish, Scottish and British” 🤔
I don’t understand why you can’t understand lol
big like from me troops yer funny as fuck man respect
Nice try singing the Skye Boat Song.
To explain . The man talking about the difference between Glasgow and Edinburgh was wrong . The Glasgow accent is more on a level whereas the Edinburgh accent will sing you a wee song . This really is the pure dead mental truth ( a bit Glasgow there ).
Irish scottish and british? you mean English, and welsh, England has more accents, dialects then the other 3 put together and then some
The Scottish ARE BRITISH.😂
They sound drunk all the time 😂😂😂
If you think Scotland made your country
You mean Irish Scots and English
You are crazy cxxnts! :-)
British = Scottish + English + Welsh, think you are using British in place of English, which is confusing for us Brits
just for info, a Scottish accent is a british accent!!!!!
Woah, that makes sense but it never even crossed my mind! In the states we always say a "British accent" when we really mean an "English accent." Kinda like... I've always wondered how Canadians feel about people calling the USA "America" when Canada is part of North "America"
I’m Scottish born and bread not British, the title British was imposed on the Scottish people. Scottish accents are there own thing. Before anyone saying what’s on your passport it says British but I’ve seen thousands of lies written on paper before. We know when you say British accent you mean English not Scottish, Irish or Welsh. We’re all said to sing when we talk the English speak. Scottish people roll our Rs in every regional accent...hardest Scottish accents to understand even for us is the Aberdeen accent.
@@outlawking4106 @@outlawking4106 oh get over it. The whole globe has history of conflict, us British don't even hate the French or German vice versa but Scottish people are still salty about England.
When we English people win events we raise that UK flag, even if Scotland isn't even involved we raise that UK flag high for the whole nation. Just see it like we're siblings (England n Scotland) we have squabbles but we're still as one.
We've fought against eachother, we've fought with eachother. We've been through it all, stop rejecting Britain. Your flag is in the flag as is ours. We are British.
@@outlawking4106 I'm Scottish, born in Scotland. I'm also British, born in Great Britain, it's also my citizenship. My nation-state is the Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. To me, British means colloquially of British citizenship. Others may have different opinions but please understand that all opinions other than my own are objectively wrong. I feel I have to point out that you spell first name ("Kris", presumably a diminutive of "Christopher",) with a "K", that on it's own is a clear signal to everyone in the world to discount any opinion you hold.
@@michaelnolan6951 there is more than one way to spell Kristopher but me name is Kris it’s on all my I.Ds birth certificate, drivers license, passport and paperwork from school, university and MOD documents as well as the companies I own with companies house. Your probably a Rangers fan because they’re mostly the only Scottish people that think that way. The declaration of Arbroath states I’m a Scottish sovereign and all Scottish people for all of time and that’s since the 1320
Even Scottish people can’t understand these 😂
I would have been able to understand the SNP MP's accent if I hadn't learned to block anything they say out. It's just a droning noise to me when they speak.
Scottish accents are British accents....
Accents are like religion do you believe in God yes do you believe in my God bang it's the same the whole world over accents religion politics different colours of skins
I think you are different PALL MEAGIMEGO Bang
Sorry. I couldn’t understand a word you said.
There isn’t a British accent. It doesn’t exist.
