Scots
Language Centre is an up and coming site
with the different regional languages of
Scotland today. At the moment the North-East,
where Doric is spoken, is up, as well as the
Central West. There are nice audio links and if
you tire of reading in Scots, you can toggle
over to English.

The Dictionary of the Scots
Language (DSL) comprises electronic
editions of the two major historical dictionaries
of the Scots language: the 12-volume
Dictionary of the Older Scottish Tongue
(DOST) and the 10-volume
Scottish National
Dictionary (SND). DOST contains information
about Scots words in use from the twelfth to the
end of the seventeenth centuries (Older Scots);
and SND contains information about Scots words in
use from 1700 to the 1970s (modern Scots).
Together these 22 volumes provide a comprehensive
history of Scots, and a New Supplement now (2005)
brings the record of the language up to date.
These are therefore essential research tools for
anyone interested in the history of either Scots
or English language, and for historical or
literary scholars whose sources are written in
Scots or may contain Scots usages.
