A few crackers here. In all seriousness it's more of a dialect then a language. |

Isn't it just Scots lang for a person who is daft? Most of what I have read of it is somewhere between Robbie Burns and Irvine Welsh, though rarely of the same quality!
Your man Tim McGarry, the annoying comedian from 'Give My Head Peace' and the 'Blame Game' did a show on it last year, it was as much about the ,ahem, cultural links as the language itself and was pretty decent. He is actually a lot more likeable when not forcing himself to be funny, it is worth trying to track down online if you are even remotely interested.

Isn't the word for vacuum cleaner in Ulster- Scots a 'suckerupper', this was told to me by a fella in the pub and I have no interest in verifying it, I really want it to be true.
It may be the Ulster-Scots verion of 'popty ping' which, unfortunately, is not the Welsh word for microwave.
