	Nessie's Grotto - Lochness Monster - Do You Speak Old Scot?
		John writes that Glaswegian is not to be confused with Old Scot even though there are similarities.
		Granted it does sound a little similar but Glaswegian is really a mix of Gaelic, Irish, Highland Scots, Lowland Scots, and any other accents that arrived in Glasgow when it became the industrial capital of Scotland.
		It is common for anyone not from Glasgow to not have a clue of what's being said when one Glaswegian speaks to another.

		An Edinburgh professor reckons a new accent, dominated by Glaswegian, is emerging across the central belt, in Edinburgh and in the Borders.

		The reason that it is perceived that Edinburgh folk are talking Glaswegian (or Weegie) is that children's gutter talk is no longer corrected by parents or schools.

		And as Glasgow bids to retain the title of the UK's top hot spot for the third year running, Sheila Hamilton meets the city's curry kings in the first of a new three-part series.
		Charan Gill, MBE, managing director of the UK's biggest curry chain, the Harlequin Leisure Group and founder of the Ashoka group of restaurants, is still, in his late 40s, the hottest name on the Glasgow curry scene and the undisputed leader of what he jokingly calls the Curry Mafiosi.
		Glaswegians certainly think so for they voted three of his company's restaurants - the Ashoka in Ashton Lane, the Ashoka in Clarkston Road and the Ashoka at the Mill in Darnley on to the top four Glasgow restaurants to compete in this year's Kingfisher Curry Capital of Britain competition.

	Final Report
		By considering data from a Scottish context, to extend current theoretical models of the mechanisms of accent change, and thereby, of language change in general.
		Overall, the Glaswegian data show that while the least mobile adolescents (working-class) show high linguistic conformity, they lead all changes; the more mobile adolescents (middle-class) show few changes (Figures 2-5, 9-11; Tables 2-4).
		Their lack of social and geographical mobility promotes change to maintain the covert prestige of the Glaswegian vernacular, albeit in a changed form (Cheshire et al 1999; Foulkes and Docherty 2000).

	Accent Change in Glaswegian
		The aim of this project is to substantiate these preliminary findings by means of a detailed analysis of Glaswegian consonants in this same data, paying particular attention to variation in pronunciation and how this relates to the social characteristics of speakers (age, gender, background).
		A statistical analysis will also be carried out to assess the significance of the findings, and to find out which social groups of speakers share particular accent features.
		The timing of the research is crucial not only to enable comparison of the results with other recent academic studies of pronunciation in England, but also to provide contemporary information about actual language use in Scotland for professionals working in education and in speech and language therapy.
