Auditory neuroscientist Michael Dempster delivers a gripping presentation on how the mind reacts when we talk freely with the language we grew up with.
This talk is delivered using the language which Miachael grew up with, Scots.
He tells of some of the difficulties the Scots language has faced in the past and gives some insight into its future.
Michael is an Auditory Neuroscientist who gained his Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Glasgow for his work exploring neural processing fundamental to language and music perception. He is also a first-language Scots speaker.
He has taught modern Scots to people from outwith Scotland and to people from Scotland who want to learn more about their own ways of speaking. Over the past year he has been working on his forthcoming book “Mind yer language? - How we talk English an how we talk Scots.”
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx

The Scots Language Centre provides information about and encourages the use of Scots. Scots is the language in which Burns wrote most of his work. It is the medium for some of the country's best loved poems and songs and is still spoken today by people throughout the Lowlands and Northern Isles. Scots like Gaelic is recognised by the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages. Scots is one of our great cultural treasures, it has been with us for hundreds of years and we encounter it everyday in names like Kirk Brae, Trongate and Holyrood.
Scots is sometimes known by local names. People in the North East often call it Doric while in Dundee it's known as Dundonian and in Shetland it is usually referred to as Shetland dialect. In its literary form it can be called Lallans -- Hugh Macdiarmid is the best known of the Lallans poets. His epic poem, A Drunk Man Looks at the Thistle is written in Scots. Older generations usually called the language Scotch or 'braid Scots'.
In this interview with Dr Dauvit Horsbroch of the Scots Language Centre, First Minister, Alex Salmond, talks about his encounters with the language as a boy growing up in Linlithgow and then later in the North East where his constituency, Gordon, is located. The First Minster describes his use of Scots words and phrases in parliamentary debates and explains why he has a particular fondness for the expressive qualities of the language. The interview also looks at the Scots question in the 2011 census and considers the future health and status of the language. Mr Salmond reveals his great admiration for the work of Robert Burns and recites an example of the bard's verse. The whole interview is available to watch online.

Scots is the Germanic language variety spoken in Lowland Scotland and parts of Ulster (where the local dialect is known as Ulster Scots). It is sometimes called Lowland Scots to distinguish it from Scottish Gaelic, the Celtic language historically restricted to most of the Highlands, the Hebrides and Galloway after the Middle Ages.
Because there are no universally accepted criteria for distinguishing languages from dialects, scholars and other interested parties often disagree about the linguistic, historical and social status of Scots. Although a number of paradigms for distinguishing between languages and dialects do exist, these often render contradictory results. Broad Scots is at one end of a bipolar linguistic continuum, with Scottish Standard English at the other. Consequently, Scots is generally regarded as one of the ancient varieties of English, yet it has its own distinct dialects. Alternatively, Scots is sometimes treated as a distinct Germanic language, in the way Norwegian is closely linked to, yet distinct from, Danish.

Scots is the Germanic language variety spoken in Lowland Scotland and parts of Ulster (where the local dialect is known as Ulster Scots). It is sometimes called Lowland Scots to distinguish it from Scottish Gaelic, the Celtic language variety spoken in most of the western Highlands and in the Hebrides.

Scots language
Scots is the Germanic language variety spoken in Lowland Scotland and parts of Ulster (where the local dialect is known as Ulster Scots). It is sometimes called Lowland Scots to distinguish it from Scottish Gaelic, the Celtic language historically restricted to most of the Highlands, the Hebrides and Galloway after the Middle Ages. Because there are no universally accepted criteria for distinguishing languages from dialects, scholars and other interested parties often disagree about the linguistic, historical and social status of Scots. Although a number of paradigms for distinguishing between languages and dialects do exist, these often render contradictory results. Broad Scots is at one end of a bipolar linguistic continuum, with Scottish Standard English at the other. Consequently, Scot... -

TG4 Ulster-Scots documentary: The Hamely Tongue - Cultúr Ceilte/Hidden Culture
An unusual and controversial perspective on the Ulster Scots language and culture in a one hour documentary film, directed by an Irish language activist. Deaglán Ó Mocháin's film, The Hamely Tongue -- Cultúr Ceilte (Hidden Culture) on TG4 on Wednesday 20th January at 9.30pm, argues for a more nuanced perspective on Ulster Scots than the normal broad swipes at the language that prevail in the media or on web forums. When the term 'Ulster Scots' is mentioned the default position is often humour -- that this is a Ballymena accent, 'Oor Willie' or 'the Broons' of Glasgow, and a series of made up words; or anger -- that this is a pretence, a vehicle to counter Irish, a financial scam, the language of the DUP. Ó Mocháin's film argues for a more nuanced perspective on Ulster Scots by excav... -

Scots is sometimes known by local names. People in the North East often call it Doric while in Dundee it's known as Dundonian and in Shetland it is usually referred to as Shetland dialect. In its literary form it can be called Lallans -- Hugh Macdiarmid is the best known of the Lallans poets. His epic poem, A Drunk Man Looks at the Thistle is written in Scots. Older generations usually called the language Scotch or 'braid Scots'.
In this interview with Dr Dauvit Horsbroch of the Scots Language Centre, First Minister, Alex Salmond, talks about his encounters with the language as a boy growing up in Linlithgow and then later in the North East where his constituency, Gordon, is located. The First Minster describes his use of Scots words and phrases in parliamentary debates and explains why he has a particular fondness for the expressive qualities of the language. The interview also looks at the Scots question in the 2011 census and considers the future health and status of the language. Mr Salmond reveals his great admiration for the work of Robert Burns and recites an example of the bard's verse. The whole interview is available to watch online.

Scots is the Germanic language variety spoken in Lowland Scotland and parts of Ulster (where the local dialect is known as Ulster Scots). It is sometimes called Lowland Scots to distinguish it from Scottish Gaelic, the Celtic language historically restricted to most of the Highlands, the Hebrides and Galloway after the Middle Ages.
Because there are no universally accepted criteria for distinguishing languages from dialects, scholars and other interested parties often disagree about the linguistic, historical and social status of Scots. Although a number of paradigms for distinguishing between languages and dialects do exist, these often render contradictory results. Broad Scots is at one end of a bipolar linguistic continuum, with Scottish Standard English at the other. Consequently, Scots is generally regarded as one of the ancient varieties of English, yet it has its own distinct dialects. Alternatively, Scots is sometimes treated as a distinct Germanic language, in the way Norwegian is closely linked to, yet distinct from, Danish.

An unusual and controversial perspective on the Ulster Scots language and culture in a one hour documentary film, directed by an Irish language activist.
Deaglán Ó Mocháin's film, The Hamely Tongue -- Cultúr Ceilte (Hidden Culture) on TG4 on Wednesday 20th January at 9.30pm, argues for a more nuanced perspective on Ulster Scots than the normal broad swipes at the language that prevail in the media or on web forums.
When the term 'Ulster Scots' is mentioned the default position is often humour -- that this is a Ballymena accent, 'Oor Willie' or 'the Broons' of Glasgow, and a series of made up words; or anger -- that this is a pretence, a vehicle to counter Irish, a financial scam, the language of the DUP.
Ó Mocháin's film argues for a more nuanced perspective on Ulster Scots by excavating an exciting and radical history -- the history of 1798 in the north, and the flowering of intellectual development associated with the enlightenment and the French and American revolutions.
At the core of this film is respect for the choices that people make in terms of their identity, an issue that is at the heart of modern day Irish language activism. One of the subjects of the film, musician and ethnomusicologist Gordon Ramsey, articulates this position in an interview where he says: "Ulster Scots identity can be viewed as an alternative to Irishness, but it can also be viewed as a particular way of being Irish, and for some Loyalists, Ulster Scots identity offers a way to be Irish on their own terms without having to accept any of the baggage of Nationalism that has sometimes been associated with Irishness"
Ulster Scots was, controversially, given language status, by the European Bureau of Lesser Used Languages, a respected body that operates to support and promote lesser used languages throughout Europe. They place Ulster Scots, and Irish, and dozens of other languages on a register of threatened voices. Ulster Scots was, again somewhat controversially, formally recognised as deserving of special support within the Belfast Agreement in 1998. This Agreement was widely endorsed in an All Ireland referendum in the summer of 1998.
The film, Cultúr Ceilte, follows narrator, Seimí MacAindreasa, a native Irish speaker from Belfast, on a journey through modern day Ulster Scots. Some of the people he meets are long standing activists, and have been preserving and promoting the language for years -- recording older members of their community, translating the bible, encouraging people to take an interest in traditional music. Others are new to the concept, and are slowly working through their relationship to the language and culture.
MacAindreasa talks to historians and academics about James Orr, one of the 'weaver poets', as John Hewitt described them -- working class intellectuals who wrote in Scots and who were often of a radical nature. Orr was a United Irishman, a section leader under the command of Henry Joy McCracken, and was forced into a period of exile after the Battle of Antrim in 1798. His work is viewed as being on a par with that master of Scots verse, Robbie Burns.
MacAindreasa also goes on to meet the modern day Orr -- James Fenton, a retired schoolmaster and the author of 'The Hamely Tongue' - a compilation of Ulster Scots words and phrases gathered over thirty years. This is widely viewed as an exemplary piece of work, recording the core aspects of a language in rapid decline. James also writes poetry in his mother tongue, and three of these are featured throughout the programme.
Director, Ó Mocháin's perspective is that people have the right to define themselves in a manner of their own choosing, and should be supported in those choices. Ulster Scots may be a language in decline, but to those who express an interest in multi-culturalism, and who support the preservation of minority cultures, he believes that this should act as a motivating factor to ensure that Ulster Scots is properly supported and nurtured. The first act in this supporting and nurturing has to be a greater understanding and awareness of the multi-faceted nature of modern Ulster Scots.
The Hamely Tongue - Cultúr Ceilte is a Soilsiú Films production for TG4, made with the support of The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (Sound & Vision), Foras na Gaeilge and The Ulster-Scots Agency.
