Orcadian Dialect in A Modern Setting

5/5/2016

0 Comments

 
These beautiful islands are full of many wondrous landscapes, seascapes, ancient monuments, brilliant birds, baffling archaeology and many other endlessly interesting examples of mankind’s remarkable endeavours.

Despite being a mere 8 km from the expansive Scottish landmass, Orkney still proudly retains its own distinctively unique culture and that goes for the dialect too. But don’t worry: they will only slip into incomprehensible speech patterns if you really annoy them and actually they are a very happy people’s.
​
So to prepare you for the enriching experience of a cultural immersion in all things Orkney, here is a tiny smattering of local lingo which came from a customer information sign on Platform One at Kirkwall Central station of Orkney Metro in December of last year.

    It was true.
