Collogue:Norlin Airlan

Norlin can only be a furm o nor'land (Eng. northland). A canna see in bein the adjective suffix -lin. Gin it is a furm o nor'land streenge that land shoud be spelt twa weys in the ae teetle Norlin Airlann.

Airlann comes up in the SND as Airland the ae quote bein fae Selkirk. A jalouse in some airts the ineetial vouel in whit for ordinar wad be written Ireland micht be /e:/ or /ɛ/ tho Gregg's transcreeption o Antrim Scots speakers gies ['əirlən] that leuks awfu lik the raiglar Scots pronunciation o Ireland.

Nor'land in sicna context is plain wrang. Airlann is mince whaur Ireland wad dae fine. A'm fell siccar the Scots wad be Northern Ireland but wi metathesis ye micht coud hae Northren Ireland.

A canna richt see whit why some fowk juist canna uise the Scots that fowk speaks an haes tae cleck a new leid that naebody speaks.

It's an orra construction aa richt but sadly its uiss haes been sanctified bi the politeicians. Sae e'en atho ye're richt on aa coonts, we canna ignore it aa the gither. -- Derek Ross 14:56, 16 Augist 2005 (UTC)

The UK haes setten furth it seicont report anent the European Chairter [1] The 'Foreword' expounds hou responsibeelity for langage maiters is devolved. Interestin that it says thare's nae statutor defineetion o an offecial leid in NI. In the 'Preliminary Section' unner pynt 2 Scots is cryed Scottish-English unner the heidin Scots Gaelic. Ulster Scots is defined in legislation as the variety o Scots that's spak in Pairts o NI an Donegal.

A gree wi ye.

But the UK offeecially considers the fower pairts tae be 'kintras' athin the UK.

Acause Scotland an Ireland are kinricks historically? Aiblins.

It wad be better gin thay war 'provinces' as we hae here in Canadae.

We arena gaein tae chynge the wird 'kintra' in aw wir airticles.

A masel hae been baurit in twa Wikipedies whan A wrate "It's no a kintra" anent sharny bluidy Wales.
