Thon Parcel o Rogues Says Naw Agane tae the Mither Tung.
ON 16t. Februar, the Scots Pairlament haed a debate anent haein a question aboot the Scots Language alang wi religion pitten intae the 2001 Census. The Scottish Executive at first wisna for haein onie o this at aw but thon consait steered up sic a muckle stooshie thay war gart tae come an gaun a wee bit an, in the hinneren, thay decidit that, tho thay cuid see the kittlie religious question faur eneuch, thay wad hae tae juist thole it tae git the census order oot the wey but the'r nae wey thay war gaun tae thole a question on the Scots language at aw. A vote wis taen an 75 MSP's (Labour, Leeberal an Tory) votit agin haein the Scots question in the census an 31 MSP's (SNP, Green, SSP an Dennis Canavan) votit for it. Noo, wisna that a surpreese? Whit can thae fowk see in a strang an growthie Mither Tung that maks thaim sae feart an paranoid tae dae ocht wirth while for it? Shuirlie the Union's no hingin on sic a shooglie nail as that?
Ae MSP, Hugh Henry, screivit the follaein as pairt o his airticle in the Paisley Daily Express on 21 Feb.:-
Scots Language.
THERE are some who believe that what Is described as "Scots Language" should be given the same status as Gaelic. Irene McGugan an SNP member of the Scottish Parliament has tabled a motion asking for a question on this to be Included on the 2001 census.
In support of this I received an e-mail from, and I quote, the 'Secretar o Scots tung". MY computer went into overdrive trying to spellcheck the e-mail. My brain went numb trying to understand it.
Phrases like, 'A'm screivin tae speir' simply baffle me. Those involved claim that between 1.5 million and 2.5 million of us 'uises ae form o the Scots language or anither in oor ilkaday lives'.
They claim it is the 'saicont maist uised language' in the British Isles. I don't know about you but I would struggle to identify the language which I now speak as a separate language from English.
Yes we have a rich distinct dialect and accent, but it is doubtful if we could understand much of what the Scots language enthusiasts say or write.
I would rather ask questions which produce information on whether our society is tackling inequality, poor health, bad housing, low incomes than confuse people with strange words which few would understand.
We ken he wisna in the pairlament on the day o thon vote an aiblins it wis juist as weel for the Offeecial Report records Brian Adam MSP staunin up in the chaumer sayin,
"Fit is so wrang wi wantin to speir as part o the census aboot foo much money we mak and fit wye we speak at hame. I cannae see oniethin wrang wi that."
Cuid ye imagine whit thon wad hae duin tae Maister Henry's puir wee numb harns? Onie wey, he maunna hae taen onie tent o whit's screivit in Rhona Brankin's National Cultural Strategy whaur it says:-
We'll speak wi a voice that is common but smert
Gaelic and Scots and English – the lot!
We'll ken whaur we cam frae an whaur we ur gan
We'll aw hae a say, each wumman an man..
nor e'en whit's screivit in his ain Scottish Executive's Scots Language Factsheet that says amang ither things, The Executive appreciates that Scots is the language many children bring to school and advocates the inclusion of Scots in the school curriculum.
We doot he wadna hae screivit sic a tuim heidit consait if he haed.
Aw throu the debate aboot a question anent the Scots language in the Census 2001, the Scottish Executive haes been threapin that the Household Survey wad be a better wey o gittin the information we aw seek aboot the language. We'll juist hae tae haud thaim tae thair word aboot this an fleetch for an airlie survey wi sic a question in it but, gaun wi whit's kythed in the bygane, we canna help wunnerin whit new excuise the Scottish Executive is gaun tae howk up tae keep the leid oot o this survey an aw.

She lies ablow my body's lust and love,
A country dearly-kent and yet sae fremd
That she's at aince thon Tir-nan-Og I've dreamed,
The airt I've lived in, whar I mean tae live,
And mair, much mair, a mixter-maxter warld
Whar fact and dream are taigled up and snorled.
I ken ilk bay o aa her body's strand,
Yet ken them new ilk time I come to shore,
For she's the uncharted sea whar I maun fare
To find anither undiscovered land,
To find it fremd, and yet to find it dear,
To seek for't aye, and aye be bydan there.
