WIBU to put 'can speak conversational Scottish' on my CV?

[TheImprobableGirl]

I was having a look through the referendum, trying to find out a little more about it on a 'pro-education' sort of way.... When I came across a document (off an official site, I mean it's not a wind up of anything called aboutmyvote.com) which is this

It is a Scottish translation.
And I can understand it!! AIBU to be very impressed with myself for learning another language without even realising it?!

I quite like 'speachifying' on p7

euphemia at the risk of sounding like an eejit (can also speak conversational Irish, skilled) what is scots compared to Scottish? Is it like a sub-language?

Back in the 80s, something similar happened with Let's Talk Strine

But neither for a CV, unless it's Gaelic, Doric or an aboriginal language.

Can you speak it, OP, or just read it?

I'm Scottish and I dont know anyone who speaks like that

Can you pronounce "eneuch"? I can read a number of languages I cannot speak but wouldn't put them on the CV.

I'm Scottish and there are parts of that I don't understand. Don't know anyone who would write like that ether.

Similar to the 'costna kick a boa gen a woa, hed it till u bost it' of oooooold stoke? Hmm interesting. And oldladyknows it all depends on how much wine I've had

Doric is a dialect of Scots.

I know people who both write and speak in lallands scots (lowlands...)

It's a language, there are books written in it and it's widely taught in schools. It is embraced in the curriculum.

Read up on Matthew fitt.

I'm up in Aberdeenshire, that's the Doric, and yes, we do speak like that! Especially in the rural places.......

Hey ! Hen yer wint a Carli Spesh an a Buckfast

Is Buckfast like a haggis/slimfast hybrid? Maybe I shouldn't put it on my cv after all....

Indeed but 35 % proof

I can/do speak like that on a daily basis . Never thought of it as CV worthy!

Some of that's beyond me but I can understand Irvine Welsh novels, and infact read the dialogue in a Scottish accent. (I'm English)

Doric is live and well, in fact I studied Doric poetry at uni!

my dad is a lallander (Fi Edinburgh) but did his medical training in Aberdeen. He says his first day on the wards he was asked to go take the case history ffrom this old wifie. He says he talked to her for 45 minutes but only undunderstood her name. After that he and all his non aberdonian friends got casette tapes teaching them Doric so they could speak to their patients

I am scottish and I only read the first page. I don't know anyone who speaks like that.

Saying that you speak scottish/scots is like saying that you speak english. Forgetting that not every region in england talks the same way.

Sunny :D I work there (ARI) and encounter colleagues often who have zero idea what patients are talking.about :D

what is scots compared to Scottish?

Scots, not Scottish, is the name of the language/dialect.
