Talk:Inglis leid

Frae Wikipedia

A think we need tae decide on this: shuid we cry it Inglis or English? A think English, so's no tae be ower auld-farrant. Mendor 17:39, 5 Apryle 2006 (UTC)

Inglis is an aulder spellin that pits ower the aulder soondin ['ɪŋlɪs]. The modren soondin wad be ['ɪŋlz] as comes ower in faimlie an place names sic as Ingles or Inglis, Ingleston or Ingliston etc. A'v heard tell that aulder nor'land fowk uises it for the leid an aw.

A wad threap that Ingles wad be the modren spellin but seein it haes niver seemt tae hae been uised in tradeetional leeteratur it micht be wice tae caw canny an uise English.

I hope you can understand me... but I am quite sure you can. I speak English.. I never knew that the Scots dialect ever existed, and I am very interested in it. Anyway, call it "Inglis". In the English Wikipedia we call languages(leid) by their English names. Call leid by the Scots names.

Whit about "Inglis (English)" - it's whit we dae fer the ithir leids efter aw. - Duncan Sneddon no loggit in the nou.

Sounds good. I'm fine with it. - Nick
