Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 2,0, University of Tubingen (Englisches Seminar), course: Englisch Grammar: Phonetics, language: English, abstract: 1. IntroductionIt's a braw bricht muin-licht nicht the nicht.(literally: It's a beautiful bright moonlight night tonight.)Kiddingly, Scottish people love to let English people try to pronounce thissentence from Scots. For English people it is hard to pronounce the Scottishsentence since it contains the /x/-phoneme that English Standard English does notknow.

How much of thelanguage heritage from Scots was imported into SSE? Which special features inphonetic, grammar and lexis can be found?
