Glaswegian or The Glasgow Patter is a Scots dialect spoken in and around Glasgow Scotland. In addition to local West Mid Scots the dialect has Highland English and Hiberno-English influences owing to the speech of Highlanders and Irish people who migrated in large numbers to the Glasgow area in the 19th and early 20th centuries.The Patter is used widely in everyday speech in Glasgow and even occasionally in broadcasting and print.
