Pronunciation an spellin

Even if a word is spelt the same wey as in English, yaise the pronunciation that ye're maist comfortable wi in Scots. For example, and cud be pronounced an; freends cud be pronounced freens.

Different pairts o the country hae their ain wey o pronouncin words an the spellin here micht no reflect your particular wey. For example awa micht be pronounced awaw in your dialect.

Be guidit by whit the bairns say and by whit ye say yersel.
