Bout Ya!

A lovely Sunday morning the sun shines and there is a warmth to the proceedings that hints at springness. :) Being involved in the arts (on an amateur basis) I was having a look at some arts related sites and came across this...

Now you may be wondering if this is in English well it is and it isnt. This is the "offical" Ulster-Scots dialect that we heathen northern irish speak. Not the soft brogue of the Paul Mooney's nor the casually rolled R's of Will Bill Buchan's of the world. This is proper spak nane o this nansence spak forby heddins.

It has long been my aim to port javascript to Ulster-Scots and coming across this has stiffened my resolve to move this one step further to realization. JavaSlabber V1.0 is now officially in developement!

Slaun!
