    According to a Scottish friend of mine this is how they pronounce vowels

    A - AHA
    E - A
    I - E
    O - OOO
    U - O
    Y - I

    I'm going out with an Irish girl who pronounces the consonant R as "OR".

    P, Q, OR, S...

    Good fun to tease her about.

    And Australian pronunciation is even weirder... like "Australia" is pronounced as "or-stray-ya"


    Sounds very bloody silly if you ask me

    Kill this thread or face the fury of the haggis!!!



    (i am kidding, btw)

    Actually, I'm lucky, being half-scottish - i can understand scottish (try reading TRAINSPOTTING, lol), and I can speak Astrayian or Scottish...

    Should we not examine the "Seth Efflikin" (South African) accent as well? With all their clipped vowel sounds.
