Thread Name: BS: The GLESCA BIBLE
Subject: RE: BS: The GLESCA BIBLE
The language used in the Glesca bible is beautifully constructed (constructed being the operative word) but bears no relation to the way anyone actually speaks in the city. Scots has never been the prevalent tongue in Glasgow, unlike in some other parts of the country. A Glaswegian saying, "dinnae"? Away an' bile yer heid, ya wee chancer!
