A Morning In September

By focussing on the sensations we perceive through our immediate surrounding, we can ground ourselves in the Here and Now.

Scotstober 2024

For the fourth year in a row, I participated in an online challenge called Scotstober, which takes place throughout the month of October.

The Event

The idea is to promote the Scots language, spoken, next to English, Scottish English, and Gaelic, in Scotland. It’s a chance for native speakers and non-native speakers to connect, exchange, and practise the Scots.

Dr. Michael Dempster hosts the event and gives out prompt words for each day in October that we can use to write with or about them in Scots.

My Scots still sucks. When I hear it, I do not understand much, writing it works a bit better, and I am able to read a good part of some Scots dialects. Each October is a time of learning more, and seeing how much I remembered over the last year.

How It Started

How did I get involved with the Scots language?

This goes over a decade back, when Google plus still existed. There, I was connected to a gentleman from Aberdeenshire in Scotland. One day, he started to write to me in Doric, which is the Scots that is spoken in Aberdeenshire. He did that to shock me with how they actually speak over there.

Well, I shocked him, as well as me, when I found myself writing back in something, that resembled pretty good Doric. Until that day, I didn’t even know that the Scots language existed.

The reason I could access it so well, at least in writing, is that the Scots basically works like Low-German, a regional language spoken in North-Germany. So, for me, writing in the Scots feels like writing in an English version of Low-German. Not that I would be anything near fluent in Low-German. But I grew up with often hearing the language, and I can at least understand most of it, if it is not Frisian or a dialect that differs a lot from the Low-German I know.

Writing to each other in the Doric became a thing between my friend and me, and this was my first contact with the Scots language. Long after said friend passed away, and Google plus was shut down for regular users, I discovered a pretty active Scots community on Twitter. When, in 2021, Sotstober was announced, I jumped in.

Learning

Since, I have learnt so much about languages, not only the Scots, about the Scottish culture, and about some aspects of recent Scottish history, which makes me very grateful. It helped me to understand the Scottish mentality a bit better, and gain insight in how life must have been for people of my generation in a different country.

You can find the entire story I created for this year’s Scotstober over at my X account, in the Scots, of course. Well, at least in what is the best Scots I can muster.

If you are active on Twitter / X, Mastodon, or Bluesky, you may want to also check out the hashtag #Scotstober, and see what other people came up with. A lot of native speakers participated, so there is much to see and learn.

Have you ever learnt a different language? How did you experience it?

Are you ready to shine a bright light of awareness on the path of beingness, today?

Much Love,Steffi
