Download or read book The Shetland Dialect written by Peter Sundkvist and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-29 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The traditional dialect spoken in the Shetland Isles, the northernmost part of Scotland and Britain, is highly distinct. It displays distinct, characteristic features on all linguistic levels and particularly in its sound system, or its phonology. The dialect is one of the lesser- known varieties of English within the Inner Circle. Increasing interest in the lesser- known varieties of English in recent years has brought a realization that there are still blanks on the map, even within the very core of the Inner Circle. Sundkvist’s comprehensive treatise draws upon results from a three- year research project funded by the Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation, for which a phonological survey of the Shetland dialect was carried out between 2010 and 2012. This book is a useful resource for those working on historical linguistics and is intended to serve as a comprehensive description and accessible reference source on one of the most distinct lesser- known varieties of English within Britain. It documents and offers a systematic account of the rich regional variation as well as being a reference source for those studying the historical formation and emergence of the Shetland dialect and language variation and change in Shetland, as well as those within the broader field of Germanic linguistics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Glossary of the Shetland Dialect The object which I have in view in publishing this Glossary is to help to preserve what yet remains among us of our old Norn language, and at the same time to give a fair sample of our dialect as it was spoken in the nineteenth century, and on to the present time. I have endeavoured to make my vocabulary something more than a mere list of words. A list of words may be interesting to the philologist, but it can be little practical use to an ordinary person. By marks to denote the different vowel sounds, I have given the common pronunciation, and by quotations of colloquial phrases I have tried to show the idioms of our vernacular speech, so that a stranger may see the peculiarities that make it a distinct dialect.

THE OLD SHETLAND DIALECT. tunga," or "Danish tongue" was spread over nearly the whole north of Europe. It was not at all confined to Denmark: it was spoken in Scandinavia (Denmark, Norway and Sweden), whose centre it was; it was spoken in Iceland, Faroe, Shetland, Orkney, to a great extent in the western Scottish Isles, the Isle of Man, and also to some extent in Britain itself--in part of Scotland, especially in the north and along the coast, in the north of England and part of Ireland, and finally along the south and east border of the Baltic Sea. It was the Scandinavian vikings who carried the Danish tongue so far: the Norwegians and Danes went west, the Norwegians taking a more northerly, the Danes a more southerly direction (in Scotland, and especially language called "Donsk A the islands north of Scotland, it was chiefly the Norwegians who settled; in England it was the Danes); the Swedes went more to the eastward and occupied f. i. the east border of the Baltic Sea, and even formed a little kingdom in the heart of Russia. I need not here say much about how Shetland was peopled, first by Picts, who came from Scotland, and then by Norwegians, especially those who at the close of the 9th century crossed the North Sea, flying from the tyranny of King Harald Haarfager and trying to find new homes. It is a general belief that the Norsemen extinguished the Picts in Shetland. But it was not the custom of the Norsemen to kill those who did not oppose them sword in hand -- at any rate, they would never have killed the women. And besides, we are not told anything about the Picts having fled anywhere from Shetland. There would be far more sense in tracing the un-Norselooking people in some of the more secluded districts of Shetland back to...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Scots dialects of northern Scotland, Orkney and Shetland are among the most traditional varieties of 'English', exhibiting features not current elsewhere for centuries. Until recently, they were spoken in communities whose traditional occupations have encouraged the equation of speech with local identity. They have all also been affected by contact with Gaelic, or Norse, or both. In recent years, however, the decline of traditional industries has been matched by the discovery of oil off their coasts, encouraging in-migration of speakers of many varieties of English and other languages. How well have these varieties maintained their traditional natures at the start of the 21st century?
