Gonnae, Leavin', Tint

It is sad tae see hoo languages oan yer bike in th' middle ay time as cultures jist forgit abit them. th' evolution ay leid destroys an' creates. Ah guess there's nae room fur aw th' languages. scootlund has bin huir uv a important fur britain as it shares history in politics an' in leid. thocht ben time, everythin' changes. scootlund eventually becomes part ay th' british empire an' ye auld scottish isnae widely spoken anymair. sassenach can be a bummer. noo as it seems thaur is only a body bodie alife tae thes day, ur in th' 80's, 'at kent almost aw th' scottish folk stories. Ah can imagine th' pressure 'at bloke has tae feel tae bide oan.

Ah hae recently reid an article describin' hoo an ancient leid is becomin' extinct coz thaur ur only tois fowk remainin' fa can spick it. "the leid ay ayapaneco has bin spoken in th' lain noo knoon as mexico fur centuries. it has survived th' spanish conquest, seen aff wars, revolutions, famines an' floods. but noo, loch sae mony other indigenoos languages, it's at risk ay extinction."(Language at Risk of Dying out - the Last Two Speakers Aren't Talking)* jist unbelievable hoo coontless ay languages ur bein' spoken less an' less coz ay its lack ay importance. thes is jist a body ay mony hundreds 'at in th' up comin' years micht ne'er be heard ay again.

Mebbe thaur is a difference atween scootlund an' mexico thocht they suffer frae a common problem, extinction ay languages. scottish seems huir uv a important fur th' coontry men as it has a vest history behin' it. it woods be a sham tae lit it disappear.

Guid cheerio the nou!
