Uh, Richmond, can you translate this? Google and SysTran were unable to
translate it for me... ;-)
C'mon Ken, it's in Scots (broad Scots, I admit, but still Scots). And
although broad Scots arguably counts as a separate language, it's at
least as close to English as American is.
The hard part is the translating from the written letters to how it
should sound ... which is probably why I'm still stuck on "unmensefu"
If it helps (?!), my favourite phrase from what seems to be Richmond's
part of Scotland is (phonetically)
ah eh ih aw uh
meaning (obviously)
I ate it all up.
It's the longest sentence I know with no consonants :-) :-)
