	Ulster Scots language - Art History Online Reference and Guide
		Many of the modest contemporary differences between Scots as spoken in Scotland and Ulster may be due to dialect levelling and influence from Hiberno-English brought about through relatively recent demographic change rather than direct contact with Irish, retention of older features or separate development.
		Mid Ulster English, the dialect of most people in Ulster, including those in the two main cities, represents a cross-over area between Ulster Scots and Hiberno-English; it is currently encroaching on the Ulster Scots area, especially in the Belfast commuter belt, and may eventually consume it.
		Literature from shortly before the end of the unselfconscious tradition at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries is almost identical with contemporary writing from Scotland.

	Art4806.txt
		New research shows that, even in the north- east of Scotland, the heartland of the rich Doric dialect, the use of the velar fricative - the "ch" sound produced in the back of the throat for words such as loch, broch and fecht - is in danger of dying out.
		The threat to Doric in particular, and the Scots language in general, was revealed by Dr Jennifer Smith, a lecturer in linguistics at York University, who conducted research into the use of various dialect markers in her native Buckie.
		She said that, while distinctive Doric words such as "fit" (what), "fan" (when) and "far" (where) were still being used by almost the whole population, the Scots "ch" sound is increasingly absent from young people¡¯s speech.

	John Benjamins: Book details for Doric [VEAW T8]
		The dialect of North-East Scotland, one of the most distinctive and best preserved in the country, survives as both a proudly maintained mark of local identity and the vehicle for a remarkable regional literature.
		The present study, after placing the dialect in its historical, geographical and social context, discusses in some detail a selection of previous accounts of its distinctive characteristics of phonology and grammar, showing that its shibboleths have been well recognised, and have remained consistent, over a long period.
		This study clearly demonstrates both the individuality of the dialect and the richness of the local culture of which it is an integral part.
