The Glasgow patter (language)

Glaswegian, The patter or just the Glasgow dialect, whatever you choose to call it, this dialect can be really very hard to understand. For one, the pronunciation differs greatly from other Scottish dialects and also, the Glaswegians seem to love, adding words of their own and pressing full sentences together, so they become a single very long word.



For example: whaurrapattercamefae which of course means; where the patter came from.
