Whit Wey Dae A Wint Tae Lairn Scots?

Strecht awa frae A first came forenent Scots, A winted to git tae ken it. A wis richt ferliet bi hit. A kent immedentlie at thir wis something kin tae masel, at thir wis a tungue at wis kin til mine ain. A hae aagates haen a muckle luve o Inglis, an i Scots A finn something A canna bit luve forby. A wint tae ken whit fowk is sayin an writin in hit.

Forby, wi Scots bein an Anglic leid, an bein the gaird an heir o the Anglo-Saxon wurd-hoard, muckle mair nor Inglis is the day, Scots is a gate fur tae git in titch wi the spring-heid common til baith Scots an Inglis. Scots is whaur sae mony o the hamelt wurds at is mine ain heirskip, as weill as Scots fowk's - an ilka bodie's at spaeks an Anglic leid - is keepit an proteckit - wurds at Inglis haes tyned, an at is leevin yit in the Scots mou.

Mairatowre, it gies me gey muckle pleisur tae look on the differin oncomes o the Auld Inglis tungue efter thae mony hunneryears. I Scots A fin something sae sib, an whyles sae ootlan, at A kent A juist maun git tae ken hit.

Anither raison at A hae sic a fainness o Scots is at it haes sae lang bin onrichtly doonhauden an negleckit. Scots haes no bin gien its richt regaird, an it haes tyned the heicher poseetion , at it aince an aucht yit haud. Scots wis aince the langage o state an aa! It's no a modren consait o Scots fowk that's juist ettlin tae write hoo thay spaek; it's a gey auld leid, an aathou Scots is maistly a spokken leid the day, at's acause it haes tyned its richtful status an haes bin negleckit fur writin wi tae its ain skaith. Scots is no juist Inglis wi northren slang. It's a richt leid, wi hit's ain grammar, rules, maks an historie.

A'm lairin Scots acause A canna see ony wey o leevin gin A dinna. It drives ma waukin an ma draims, an whan it's no the first thing on ma mind, hit's the seicont. It's for luve A'm daein this wark.
