My mum was a Shetlander and today I received the email from the Home Office my British citizenship by descent was approved. I love your videos and remember my mum so dearly! Thanks!
it's a travesty your videos dont have more views - this is brilliant. Not just for it's treatment of the Shetland dialect, but production values are top notch and your portrayal of people's experience of language is brilliant, period.
I thought this was just like English but I was listening to Shetlandic people speak about and reading books in this supposed dialect and I couldn't pick up much. Its like a whole seperate language and I think the name Shetland dialect should be dropped and just call it Shetlandic as its completely different to Germanic or Goidelic languages, I speak Irish and we have our own pidgins here but Shetlandic is in its own category altogether
@@aubreywang3937 I know but I can understand Scots and I don't speak it. I just don't understand Shetlandic Scots. So I believe it should be given its own language or at least creole status
@@deaganachomarunacathasaigh4344 I find Shetlandic in this video easy to understand but if you check their latest video, I do find it difficult to understand "Brian Smith"'s accent because he sounds like someone from Iceland trying to speak Scots or English. There are some Icelandic Asmrists who talk in English in their videos, their English accents sound kind of like Shetlandic.
@@aubreywang3937 Well considering that the closest relatives to Shetlandics and Orcadians are the Faroese and Icelandics it's not too big of a surprise. I know they are trying to revive the Shetlandic and Orcadian Norn languages in the form of Ny-Norn so pray to God it goes well for them
@@aubreywang3937 Yes, Brian Smith's accent is very reminiscent of Icelander's speaking English! I think the pronunciation of "th" and "r" sounds is similar and very distinctive.

Shetlandic is supposed to be a dialect of insular Scots not English
