The Doric Dialect is a variety of the Scots language spoken primarily in the northeast of Scotland, particularly in areas like Aberdeenshire and Moray. It is characterized by its unique vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar, which can differ significantly from standard English. Doric has roots in the Old English and Norse languages, reflecting the region's history and cultural influences. While it is often considered a rural dialect, it has a rich literary tradition and is used in poetry, music, and local storytelling, helping to preserve the cultural identity of its speakers.
