From: R. F. Hahn <sassisch at yahoo.com>
Subject: Resources

Folks,

There's a really neat Scots-related website that you need to check out if
you haven't done so already:

It's a highly jazzed-up reincarnation of the site of the Scots Language
Center: http://www.scotslanguage.com/

The red button on the top right allows you to toggle-switch anything between
English and Scots.

There are introductions to Scots as well as news and feature articles on
more advanced knowledge levels. There is a fair bit of information about
education and promotion. What I like in particular is that there are
articles looking at comparable minority language situations elsewhere. (In
my opinion it is always a good sign when promoters compare notes across
borders, something that is sorely missing in the Low Saxon area for
instance.)

Aside from this, I would like you all to remember and periodically visit two
other leading resource sites with a Scots focus, both of them offered by
Lowlands-L members:

*Wir Ain Leid* (Our Own Language) by Andy Eagle, chock-a-block full of info,
study material and resources:
http://www.scots-online.org/grammar/

*ScotsteXt* by Sandy Fleming an ever growing repository of Scots literature:
http://www.scotstext.org/

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
