Glasgwegian
The Glasgow dialect, also known as Glaswegian, is a variant of Scottish English that is influenced by West Central Scots and has elements of Highland English and Hiberno-English. It is spoken by people in the Greater Glasgow area and surrounding counties, and is most commonly used by working-class individuals. The dialect has undergone dialect levelling, where Scots vocabulary is being replaced by Standard English words, but Glaswegians continue to create new euphemisms and nicknames. The dialect has been featured in Scottish literature, with authors such as Michael Munro and James Kelman writing in the dialect to create a distinct and authentic voice. The phonology of the Glasgow dialect has been studied by researchers such as Jane Stuart-Smith, who identified two varieties: one that uses the Standard English system (SSE) and another that uses a distinct system with different vowel qualities.learn more on wikipedia
