My mother (an Aberdonian, as I am) used to talk exactly like that😂😂😂😂😂 It's a North East Scotland dialect ........ Aberdeen, Peterhead, Fraserburgh, Buckie, type of area.
This makes me so sad. This was my Mum. She had just gone into a Care Home and was suffering from dementia. She only lasted two years there. She was a very loving mother. 😥❤️
Nursing homes are pretty rough too. My mom tried to take care of my dad as long as she could but once it was too bad, she had to let him go to a home. He died two months later. He had lost over 60 pounds. The nurses didn't do a thing for us and were even actively blocking her from visits. I hope you don't carry as many regrets for her passing as I do for my dad's.
Perhaps you can also look at it in this way, many people will see this video on here and hear her speaking these words, this is a wonderful little clip.
I’m 27 and honestly, this is just music to my ears. Was raised wi a dad fae mastrick and a mum fae meldrum. I’ve always been chuffed that I’m a good mix of toonser and teuchter.
Type "native Doric speaker" into youtube, and you get a few actors or other clowns imitating Doric, and then you have this absolute gem. I wanted to hear the real Doric, and now I have. Thank you!
such a shame. my dad was canned at the grammar for speaking doric as well. it was discouraged even when I was going through academy fae 2004 ti 2010 but as a quine wi parents fae mastrick and meldrum, I bloody love spikkin' it the noo.
Doric Scots is really special. It's very conservative. Most Scots has merged into Scottish English, but Doric is how Scots might have been before the union. When English people I know hear it they can barely believe there's something so similar yet also so different to English. It must be what it's like for a Spaniard to listen to Portuguese or a dane to Swedish.
@@colossaltitan3546 I heard it's maybe from old Norse influence up there. When the Doric speakers inhale the word "aye", that's apparently a Scandinavian trait. Norse languages are Germanic. So is English. English is knackered German. Dutch is too and some other related and nearly extinct languages. Friesian being another one
I recently stayed in Aberdeenshire for a year and knew someone who spoke like this. Understood 40% of what he was saying so I'm proud of myself. A really special accent/dialect/language.
I'm glad Scots is finally being a recognized language, all languages started out as just accents, but now with it being more accepted as it's own language, especially by it's speakers, it'll make a lot of people's lives easier
I was a Regional Manager with the Ambulance Service and was asked to look after Aberdeen for a short period. I loved my visits there - couldn’t understand a word (much to the staff’s delight), but what an experience.

Any Norwegians in here to translate the other two-thirds of this? I've heard that Danes and Noregs can sometime understand Scots quicker than native English speakers.
This doesn't sound like Norwegian. I am Scottish and I understood her really well but I don't understand Norwegian but I can understand bits of Frisian and Dutch so maybe that's a clue for you.
I grew up in a small village in Central Scotland. I could understand what she is saying but I still forget what 'div' means, it through me off a bit. I think it means 'the' but it is what confused me the most. 90percent if Doric is similar bo my dialect.
Holy shit. It sounds kind of like Dutch... you *know* you're supposed to understand what they're saying because the sounds are similar, but you just get lost in the accent.

The vowel shift that affected English between the mid 14th and late 16th centuries had different effects on the Scots language, so much of the vowels are pronounced differently a retain an older pronunciation more in line with other Germanic languages, there are also many other influences on it, but yes, I'd say its as least as distinct from English as Norwegian, Swedish and Danish are from each other.
@@tourmaline1810 yes what I mean we were like Scottish but she married a Georgie From Newcastle they were married in Aberdeen but moved down in South Shields
@@robokill387 It is dying out. I'm from Aberdeenshire and as the generations go on less doric is spoken and understood by the younger people. Most likely due to media access (social media/movies etc).

Please record more of this, there are no good examples of Doric Scots on youtube.

Hope you ain't counting Kevin McKidd among those "imitators". For the small bit we got in Brave, he really made the most of it as a natural speaker.
It's a beautiful traditional dialect they caned us for at Robert Gordons Academy in Aberdeen where I was schooled.

A Dane told me she could understand the Scottish accent more easily than the English.
Norwegian here! I got the "people in the house"-part, but not much else😅 Both "folk" and "hus" is the same in Norwegian❤ Would love to hear more!
In the early 1960's, I used to visit my great grand parents in Garmouth, they spoke the Doric.
Born in aberdeen grew up in peterhead understood every word

Usually, it's "efterneen"
@@drrd4127 your right, but who cares?
Swedish cadence. We need moar!!
I've heard some Canadians that sound like this, but only the accent part, the words are normal english words.
many scot’s migrated to canada, the vikings started this migration, many of my elderly family were born in aiberdeen and moved over to nova scotia (new scotland) in canada
Similar pronunciations in the Icelandic language but, completely different spelling!!
Reminds me of my late gran. she would be a similar sort if age (1928-2020)
is it me or it sounds a little scandinavian?
kenken8765
It is a wee bit Scandinavian.
There's more north Germanic influence (Scandinavian languages) in Scots than there is Gaelic influence.
I'm not a native english speaker so I understand like every 20th word of it, but It sounds to me like some mix of English, German and random scandinavian language
That sounds... nothing like a Scandinavian language. Then again, I *am* Scandinavian, so maybe I'm a touch biased :P

oh god it's like aulfellas in Ireland with thick Irish accents
My Great grandmother spoke Doric we are now Geordie speakers wi ye I man!!
is this the language the Pics spoke?
@@joannechisholm4501 no, they spoke Pictish, which is a Celtic language that has no written records of how it was spoken. The language is lost.
@@tourmaline1810 yes that's correct Anglo Anglo Saxon ever reached Aberdeen

I can follow quite a bit. But one sentence she says something like "need a bunny...". As in a bunny rabbit?
Need the money
I don’t care if I am not her grandkid I love you grandma!
It doesn't really help that it jumps into the middle of a thought in the middle of a story with no context.
some sort of ancient alien language
I love the scots language, its a shame its dying out
It's not, it's healthy. It's Scots Gaelic that's dying.

Dinna ken
Bring back Doric!
I was in Alford a few years ago. I was told that Doric is being taught in schools now
sounds closer to frisian
Wait this sounds a little similar to Jamaican Patois 🇯🇲
I'm from Glasgow. What language is this?
It's a Scottish dialect called Doric. Fit bit's fur fit fit? An all that :)
You'll understand her if you listen closely enough
Aye I’m kinda Doric it’s fae Aberdeen area
Doric
You need to get out more fucking bellend
fenix182 Doric the language of the Spartans don’t try to transit it’s dying and it’s only spoken in one tribe
I thought the Norse took over the northwest part of Scotland in the past, not the northeast.
Nah they didn’t take over they just settled and merged with the existing population
So Mr. Bean speaks Doric...
All I heard was ken
