A dialect formed in the Shetland Islands.

Words which sooth-moothers don't seem to understand.

The dialect is dieing out because of all the american tv aired in britain.
Now mostly only old people speak Shetlandic.

(Sooth-moothers are southern-speakers)
I couldn't understand a word he was saying, he was speaking in Shetlandic.
