Turn Menewsha Scottish
 
So I was on Tumblr and saw something called The Scottish Challenge on a blog, and I really wanted to take part. There were a load of people out of Scotland taking part too and it was pretty amusing for a native to hear how they thought some things were pronounced.

Here's my voice clip

Now! To take part all you need to do is:

Say your username
Say where you're from
Say the following words and phrases

Quote:

Loch, Curtain, There’s been a murder, Spoon, Glasgow, Film, Police, Pure dead brilliant, Edinburgh, Lassie, Neeps & Tatties, Haud yer weesht, Irn Bru, Patter, Tartan, Gerard Butler, Leatherin, Hogmanay, Bairn, Milngavie, Jacket, Kelpie, Hoatching, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Inverness, Gee it laldie, Scunnered, Shoogly, Blether, Auchtermuchty, There’s a moose loose aboot this hoose, Glasses, Lock, A dinnae ken, River Clyde, Nessie
And then pick a word or phrase of your choice.

I love how you say E-din-brrra. XD
Edit: Ah it's an accent challenge.
Loving how people don't think they have an accent though everyone in the world does.

RoadToGallifrey 12-27-2011 12:30 AM

Haha I'll take that as a compliment. xD

Yeah they were all over this Scottish blog on Tumblr so I wanted to join in. Way too many couldn't pronounce Auchtermuchty or Milngavie though. >.>

I love your voice Cass x3
I know it is an accent challenge but you just sound so adorable.

Ikuto Akihiko Hasegawa 12-27-2011 04:42 AM

Oooh fun! :eager:
I probably pronounced these all kinds of odd since I'm not familiar with a lot of them. But here's what I got!
I didn't listen to Cass's either, to keep my own ideas about how they're pronounced in my head. :lol:

Click me~

RoadToGallifrey 12-27-2011 06:45 PM

@Daisy: Haha thanks, I personally hate my voice. xD

@Iku: Yay someone took part! xD You actually didn't do too badly on the pronunciation! You can become an honorary Scot! 8D

Mystic 12-27-2011 09:04 PM

If I wasn't so shy I'd do this. I still might but I know I'd butcher some of the words/phrases. This seems like fun though!

Aw you should go for it! (: If it makes you feel better I'm one of the few that know how these should be pronounced, and I wouldn't point out any that were wrong. (:

You and Cassie sound so adorable xD


I am to shy to do this :gonk:

Mystic 12-28-2011 12:23 AM

I still may do it tomorrow, if my voice sounds better. I'm kinda sick right now so it would sound crappy anyway.

RoadToGallifrey 12-28-2011 12:32 AM

@Daisy: It's high pitched and horrible haha. xD The Highland accent is not a bonnie one! D:

@Mystic: I hear you, I'm choked with the cold just now. D:

Mystic 12-28-2011 12:36 AM

Luckily I was able to escape most the year without a cold but now that my immune system is really messed up I caught something and can't get rid of it. >.< Darn people need to not be nasty and lick their money before handing it to me and wash their hands. I work as a cashier and have some of the grossest customers.

RoadToGallifrey 12-28-2011 12:38 AM

Oh wow, that's lucky then. I seem to permanently have the cold, and I was sick for about two and a half months solid from September onwards. D: This year has been pretty poor for my health.

Ikuto Akihiko Hasegawa 12-28-2011 01:28 AM

@Cass: What I've always wanted! :eager:

--
I hope more of you try it! Though it seems you've listened. I had more fun guessing how they were pronounced. xDD
But you should all take your shot at it! :illgetu:

Elluh 12-28-2011 06:42 PM

I'm pretty sure I just pronounced all of those wrong : D

Here's my manly voice~
:B

You might want to lower your volume :O

RoadToGallifrey 12-28-2011 10:04 PM

I love your voice, Elluh! <3

What was your word/phrase?

Elluh 12-28-2011 10:56 PM

I messed up by saying it was a "mountain" :XD
It's a small town in Mexico but its under lava or something.
It was Parangaricutirimicuaro.

RoadToGallifrey 12-28-2011 11:02 PM

Oh cool! *struggles to say word* ^^;

Elluh 12-28-2011 11:07 PM

Lets see.. Pah-Rahn-Gah-ree-Ku-Ti-Ri-Me-Qwah-Roh
..maybe that helps? :XD;

I had trouble with a lot of your words! But it was fun :B

RoadToGallifrey 12-28-2011 11:17 PM

I think I can say it now! But I sound like a robot...that's cool though, right? ;D

Haha it's the beauty of dialect! I'm quite impressed that the city I live in is nestled in that word list and everyone's said it right. :')

Lush Cutie 12-29-2011 03:17 AM

i dont get it but.......
There’s a moose loose aboot this hoose

RoadToGallifrey 12-29-2011 11:58 AM

What part don't you get? I can try and re-explain it if you like, I probably wasn't overly clear.

Mystic 01-01-2012 12:24 AM

Here's mine, although at the moment my voice sounds like crap. :P
I do talk really fast normally so I tried to slow it down a bit without sounding too much like I'm reading off the screen. :P

Elluh 01-01-2012 02:01 AM

Woah Mystic! You do talk really fast.. :XD

I only talk really fast in Spanish~ :B

Robots are always cool.. :cool:

Mystic 01-01-2012 02:07 AM

Yeah, I get told to slow down when I talk a lot. :XD
