I left Aberdeen in 1982 and moved to Australia. 37 years later, I heard a Scottish tourist speak Doric on the streets of Sydney! Couldn't speak it but completely understood every word! I miss Aberdeen and speaking Doric ☺️🤗🥰

I was brocht up in Maud but moved to Forres at eleven years old, as a young loon and an incomer I was telt naebody could understand fit I wis spikin aboot ,so my younger brother and massell were sent tae elocution lessons (learnin foo tae spik fancy) twice a week. I stuck it out for a term and learned how to enunciate most words properly, nae mair 'fit' 'foo' and 'fa' or 'funcy sheen' and 'breeks' for me, I wore brogues with trousers and joined in whatever was going on, with whoever for whatever length of time. My brother on the other hand stuck at the elocution for years and went on to win spoken English competitions all over the country. Since meeting and marrying my wife I moved to Buckie where her friends and relatives accuse me of talking posh..........YE CANNA WIN !!! Be Yersell

I was born here in Australia, lived here all my life. My father was Scottish born and I had Scottish immigrant grandparents. It was only when I went to Scotland in 2016 that I was told the Scottish words I knew are Doric. I am amazed how much of it I can understand. I now realise in our family we have always included some doric words in conversation and I thought I always speak pure Aussie.

Hello quine fae Cullen. Aye, I wis telt tae speak proper English when I started Portsoy school in the early sixties. Can still hear her words. The mention of being labelled cheuchters was no stranger to me in lowland Scotland after we moved from the NE. Long time wife of an Englishman I am proud he is familiar with many Doric words. I Am who I Am and proud to be one of Jock Thampson's bairns living South of The Border for many years!

I live in NZ and my mum was Scottish and spoke doric to us. I had no idea that quine and loon and skunnard and lugs and breeks etc etc were doric and not english. So funny when people asked what I meant in my younger yesrs.

Although these are Scots words, many of them have cognates in English: quine> queen, loon (uncertain origin), breeks> breeches, lugs I don’t really know this one

I wish I could speck it. My great grandparents came from Peterheed and my grandpa and dad raised me to be proud of my Scottish heritage. I was blessed enough to visit Peterheeed with my parents when I was 18 and met some Doric speakers, I tried to find videos or courses to teach me but I couldn't find much online.

I’m a native Buchan tounge (Doric) speaker from Fraserburgh. I grew up in the 60’s & 70’s, and I will never give up my first language. Even though I speak various languages- including English- I will never give it up. I speak it whenever I can. Sadly though fewer and fewer people understand me. Even in NE Scotland. I still have the original vocabulary and pronunciation, but it’s dying out.

Speaking Doric is grand, but not if your audience can’t understand you. I’m delighted that kids are being encouraged to speak Doric, it wasn’t encouraged in my youth.. but I no longer live in the north east and if I spoke Doric now.. well.. I’d have to repeat each sentence in English as well 😂

As a child of the sixties I was berated and belted for my steadfast refusal to "speak the Queen's English" I pursued a one loon resistance. Even those speaking only "Doric" were never taught to write it, so all written communication was in English. Interestingly, the WhatsApp generation use a phonetic for of Doric when messaging. I doubt it will save the language from homogenisation, but I like the wee bit of Irony.

Here in the North East I don't think anyone thinks speaking Doric means you're a nationalist, if anything the contrary. Gaelic yes, but that's a recent shibboleth of the last few years.

I wonder why that is? "Doric" is spoken in North East Scotland, an area. as my old geography teacher would tell us, lying in the rain shadow of the Grampians. As such, is statistically one of the driest places in the UK. It also enjoys above average sunshine.....I'll give you "cold" though.
