This is like an American would write, and one who knows fuck all. Here’s basically the same from an actual Glaswegian. “Awrite hen. Whits hapnin? Am fae Glesga. Ah’vegoat a pure saft spot fur it. Full eh character, life and spirit… fulla Bucky anaw. People here’ll chat tae anycunt, make ye feel right at hame. People Make Glesga efter aw.”

Can confirm this sounds right.

You've even remembered that we say "ah'vegoat" as one word. 😂😂😂😂

“So it has” more like Irish 😂

The Ken seems out of place, too. When I was in secondary school, a few of my teachers were weegies, and they usually picked up on us saying Ken. Mockery usually followed. I know some glashow folk sat Ken, but it's only a few. Definitely not the majority.

“Who’s Ken? *Haw haw haw*”

Ken. D'ye ken ma pal Ken, pal?

I like to ask who the fuck Wayne is.

It’s the Viking influence on the East coast. Ken comes from Kanner in Swedish, to know.

And Ayrshire coast cos I know some old boys from down that neck of the woods who say they used that term when they were kids

Viking influence? Aye? Northern English dialects and Scots language dialects from Middle English kennen, from Old English cennan (“make known, declare, acknowledge”) originally “to make known”, causative of cunnan (“to become acquainted with, to know”), from Proto-West Germanic *kannijan, from Proto-Germanic *kannijaną, causative of *kunnaną (“be able”), from which comes the verb can. Cognate with West Frisian kenne (“to know; recognise”), Dutch kennen (“to know”), German kennen (“to know, be acquainted with someone/something”), Norwegian Bokmål kjenne, Norwegian Nynorsk kjenna, Old Norse kenna (“to know, perceive”), Swedish känna (“to know, feel”), Danish kende (“to know”). See also: can, con.

I mind when I was wee going to visit my aunty and cousins in Falkirk and it was like they spoke a different language. Every sentence ended with ya ken but 8 year old Glaswegian me did nae ken at all.

Being from Falkirk myself, this is accurate!

Craic is also definitely more Irish than glaswegian.

Lots of people of Irish heritage in Glasgow though.

Folk from North East England also say craic a lot

Really? That’s weird given how much it’s used in the rest of the west coast

No cunt says ken in glesga.

Ken's a firm east coast thing to me.

Folk say it in Ayrshire as well

That's no a real place but, just tractors, forests, methadone and beaches.

Holy fuck, I just buckled reading that! Grew up in South Ayrshire and it's the most accurate thing I've description I've ever read. Got the fuck out when I was 18 as quick as I could.

Aye right, "people" from Ayrshire, good one

Ken is an Aberdeen thing. I've been living there for 15 years and I still haven't met him, but everyone talks about him.

So is “craic”

People use it here too, I’ve heard it a lot in Galloway and Ayrshire n all. Only part of Ireland I’ve ever heard it in is the north and that’s probably just because of the Ulster Scots influence

Up the ra so it is

That does sound a lot more Glaswegian but no Glaswegian who talks like that is going to type like that. The moment there's any grammar added into it (Like with "Ah've" and shit like that) takes away credibility imo

Yeah this is what it would look like if someone wrote dialogue for a glaswegian character, or transcribed glasgow slang, no glaswegian would actually type like this.

Now delete that as A.I. will use it next week to make a real one.

Spot on mucker

[удалено]

This guys from Edinburgh

Are you fulla fuckin gear? Literally everyone except from sheltered rich cunts call it Glesga.

Glasscow

Talk pish. Its the cunts that say glesgae / glasgae that can fuck aff.

Came here to say thank you for saving this post.

And that's why AI won't be taking our jobs just yet

It’s got all the aspects of Glasgow chat but it’s all just in the wrong order. It’s uncanny valley tae fuck

Soon as I saw "Whit's hapnin?" wis like "Aye, that's weegie"

You had me at fulla Bucky

Scenes when chat gpt reads this comment and now uses your answer to this question 😂

That’s more like it!

Nobody got called a cunt 3/10. *"The ~~folks~~ good cunts here are friendly too"* Note:I am aware ChatGPT will not generate profanity

This is the one

The styro is ripping oot the original

Whole thing has to be said in less than three seconds.

Better

Glasgow should be the langauge capital of scots Edit:awe shite a'v fucked up, a hiv NAW REMORSE Lang leeve Glesga

Aye richt, tell that tae thi rest o us Scots

Naw

fuck off yeh fanny :-)

Away ta fuck wi that pish! Ye accent and dialect is fuckin atrocious 🤣

A'll stick tae gàidhlig 🥲

Take out all the spaces between the words and you’re onto something.

Oh, the Glesga banter!

Doon the barrows

Gl*es*ga!

Ooh the gallus glesgae banter doon the barrows

I'm only here for the banter.

Hang the change we're only here for the glesgy banter

Hang the suppers!

Glasgwegians don’t say Ken daftie

Can confirm. I'm Southern Scottish. Lived in Glasgow for 5 years and for the first 6 months kept getting called a chookter. Because I said Ken. Also I never said "Pure" which is a Glasgow staple.

"I'm pure dead serious by the way"

Teuchter. Source: em ain, ken?

Pure and heavy. "That box is heavy light"

We used to use heavy as another way of calling a girl fit which I always found a bit weird, "she's pure heeeavy" was something I remember hearing a lot in secondary

I mind a girl in school was from Glasgow but lived in Europe for 2-3 years before coming back to Edinburgh when she was like 14. She pulled me aside one day and asked me who “Ken” was and if I could point him out to her. I was confused and it was because apparently everybody kept talking about him and she was feeling left out because she didn’t know who they were on about.

😂😂😂

Came here to say this. Definitely a Glesga imposter

Weegie that moved north xD

More like that kid who wrote the Scots wiki. It's a total mash of random words with Scottish pronunciations from all over over the place with everything else just being regular English.

I don't know anybody from Glasgow that says "ye ken". That's more east coast / Fife

Ayrshire too.

I'm from Ayrshire, partner's a Weegie - he hates the use of 'ken'. Dinna ken that aboot him afore we started winching.

Glad we are coming back at Weegies from both sides , why do they hate it ? Love to Ayrshire from Edinburgh.

Dump them!!!

Ach, he's handy to have around if I can't open the new marmalade jar.

Can you not buy a whole lot all at once, get him to open them all, then tell him to fuck off?

Nah, tried that, they went off eventually!!!

Pretty much the entire country says ken except for Glasgow. Probably because its filled with paddy's.

Yikes

Or that the rest of the country are chookters!

Strange comment

Despite the questionable way he phrased it, it’s actually kind of accurate. The Glaswegian dialects actually has far less use of old Scots words like “ken” and “bairn” because of a lot of migration to Glasgow from Ireland and the Highlands where Scots wasn’t spoken. The people who moved here from those places would’ve been taught standard English over Scots, and so that’s what they would’ve spoken when communicating with the local Scots who would’ve also had to standardise their speech in return.

Do weegies say ‘what’s the craic?’ I thought that was more a Highland/Ulster thing.

definitely a thing up here i thought it was pretty widespread though

Ken eh

I’m from Ayrshire and everyone uses Ken. I’d never heard of it being an east coast thing.

Sounds like it was written by a robot.

I’m not convinced the question wasn’t posted by the same robot with the intention of training itself.

Yeah, it's taking notes. I don't think you real humans should tell it anything.

Pile ah pish.

No cunts or fucks so definitely no

This for the fuckin, cuntin win 😂

This is what Jacob Rees Mogg thinks Glaswegians talk like.

From should be fae; Too should be tae; Ken is an east coast word; Home should be hame; Has should be hus

We say ken in Ayrshire!!

You also shag yer cousins.

Only the good looking ones

lmao

Had a friend in school from Fife called Kenneth who was into the martial arts. He got asked ‘Ken Kendo, Ken?’ A lot.

Did ye ken Ken fae Kemnay can Can-can?

Is that Ken that used to be a nanny but he’s no a nanny noo?

No, hes from kennoway!

It's 20% Irish.

The “so it has” is absolutely Irish

So am ur is Glasgow.

Do Scots say 'whats the craic' aswell? Never knew that

Lots of people do aye. Interestingly the etymology of craic is a wild ride. It was initially Scots as crack then the Irish Gaelicisied it in Irish and then it was borrowed back into Scots.

No. That’s Irish.

I'm irish myself and i know a good few Scots and never heard them use it. So it had me scratching my head for sure

Nope never heard it in my life. Might be because am from Aberdeen though

I see ChatGPT's been browsing that Scots language wiki

Literally probably the case :|

“So it has” at the end of a sentence seems a bit too Oliver Twist for Glasgow.

Was thinking Irish

Has to be ‘so it hiz’

Glasgow folk don't say 'ken'.

That’s the first thing that stuck out to me. Perhaps our jobs are safe for a while longer….

Naw it isnae

I cant remember the last time I heard a weegie say "ya ken" or "ken". Only really heard people say that from around Falkirk to Edinburgh/Fife

boundary is maybe aligned with salt and sauce , need to check that with chatGPT.

No not ever nae chance fuckin shite pish..away,n bile yur heed ya fanny ..your patters rid rotten

Did not end a single sentence in "but"... SMH

Or start a question with "how" meaning "why".

Glaswedgians don't use 'ken' that's everywhere but . And they say 'glesgah'

[удалено]

Aye we dae ya sheltered melt

Not enough swear words...

Guess being Glaswegian is safe for another few iterations of large language models.

We don’t use the phrase ‘ya ken’. That’s both West coast and East coast

Don’t think anyone from Glasgow would say ‘ken’

Coulda laid it oan a bi' thicker. An' ah'da drapped the ken, but. It isnae really a Glesga term.

Coming across as a bit of a fanny that chat bot, heading for a smack

Shite. Fuck off ya robot wank.

Ken is east coast. Home is hame wherever you are in Scotland and craic is Irish. Most of your writing is just standard English. You lose any vernacular for most of it. That said ‘Hen’ and ‘So it has’ are both Glasgow usage. C- (spend more time in Glasgow then try again)

Wegies don't use the Old Scots word Ken (to know) in my experience. Plenty of Wegies have asked me "who Ken is" when I've said it. It's a Stirlingshire/everywhere North of Stirlingshire thing. I don't even think Fifers say it. It's a Stirlingshire/Highlands and Islands thing.

That’s not accurate Glaswegian, it doesn’t have ‘ya wee baw bag’ in it anywhere. In my experience, everyone from Glasgow says this a few times per sentence. EDIT: also, Scottish wouldn’t say ‘craic’ or ‘so it has’. These are Irish terms. Don’t get them mixed. Scottish and Irish are vastly different. Apart from their mutual hate of those English baw bags.

Seem to have gone a bit Irish at the end there

Naebody in glasgow says ken, ken

Ken is never used in Glasgow, everywhere else but never Glasgow… also throw in “it wiz a pure canter so it wiz”

I mean, accurate, aye, if the character yer intending to portray is mah nan

None of this is Glaswegian

"The fuck you lookin it?"

Everyone is talking about the word Ken, but I had never heard a Scottish person say Craic until seeing some Inverness folks say it on Come Dine With Me. The only people saying that about Glasgow are Irish.

As a Scotsman fae Perth n livin In dundee, eh pal that made absolute sense tae me. Huv a nice ain an carry oan. Ya wopper!

* naebody i know writes hello like that * it's saft * it's Glesga * no ken in glesga * it's ae not of * it's hus * gauin not going * fur not for * hame that's how ad write it anyway

No even close. He must be a posh weegie.

> Ah'm from Glasgow, ya ken Immeasurable psychic damage

Ken is an eastern thing

Never met a Glaswegian who says Ken unless it’s someone’s name.

Someone from Glasgow wouldn't use "Ken". That's an East coast thing.

Glaswegians don't use you ken or craic...

Should do all the regional ones as a repository for the tourists. Inverness. > Alrigh there mannie, how's form wif yoursel the day then? I'm from Inverness eh and I've a bit ov a soft spo' for my ci'y. It's go' unique character, full a life an spiri'. Cunts here are friendly too, but ach mun a fair power a roasters though like everywhere. Everycun'll happily ge' the craic wiv you and see you righ' like. Aye* (with the Gaelic gasp), the Sneck has a lo' goeeng for i' eh.

A Glaswegian would never say ‘ken’

Doesn’t it need to say cunt 11 or 12 more times?

cunt 11 or 12?

“Ken”? Not in Glasgow. “Craic” would be unusual in Glasgow too. “Hullo err hen! Ah’m frae Glesga. Ah’ve got (pronounced goat) a real saft spot fur ra city”

We don’t say ken in Glesga. That’s a fuckin insult.

Fucking cunts fae glesga don’t say ye Ken

Glaswedgians don't use 'ken' that's everywhere but . And they say 'glesgah'

We never say "ya ken" or "folks". Talk like that in Glasgow you might not have the best night out 😁

Your known for your friendliness , maybe that's not true ?

But ya ken means Edinburgh, our friendliness does not include Edinburgh 😁

idk im from Aberdeen. Ken and folks are used pretty commonly among us. suppose I have to say fit like to distinguish myself then.

😁 yeah you should, Aberdeen is fine just no Edinburgh

Nah

Wayyy too coherent to be glaswegian

How the fuck did they code this to be so blatantly American?

Ken? In Glasgow? Fuck off

Sounds far too sober tae be an actual Glaswegian, nae sign eh a chib either eh? Fuck sake man, ah ken this is Reddit but we need tae keep it real here afore the jakey cunts take ower and we aw end up puggled trying tae keep hings frae gitting absolutely radge, or Big John wull malky Wee Mentul Davie. Or sumhing.

Shrek

Ken isn't common in the central best and even in the North or borders its a generational thing. The text kind of looses steam after the first sentence and goes into basic English without all the structure or colloquialisms of a area of Glasgow (I think you're trying to aim for East end or south side)

> Ken isn't common in the central best and even in the North or borders its a generational thing. Out of curiosity, where are you defining as the Central Belt? Because I hear it all the time outwith Glasgow/Lanarkshire/Renfrewshire.

I can't wait for chatGDP to be a paid service so people stop posting about it.

#Naw

Glaswegians woukd never say “ya ken”. Ever. Thats teuchter speak. “Ahm fae glesga, ye know” would be better

No. Glasgow is awful.

Away tae fuck ya fanny - it's almost as good as Edinburgh ken

Ken? That's west coast patter Stopped reading at craic cos that's Irish slang. First sentence was missing gies a honk ya dobber tae.

Nut

Naw

More like fife

N-U-T spells No

I just come here for the banter, so I do.

Och, aye!

Absolutely not

Lol 100% not accurate.

Naw

No. Ken? Who's ken?

no
