Subject: Website update [E/S]

A thocht yese micht wad like tae ken A'v nou updatit ma Wabsteid 'Wir Ain
Leid - An Innin tae Modren Scots'

A'v wrocht ower the chaipters anent pronunciation an orthography. Its nae
langer thirlt tae central Scots. The spellin conventions is exponed thro
the sindrie byleids o Scots.
The thochtie ahint it is tae shaw hou maist aa byleids can be spelt the
same wey. It maks uise o IPA seembols. Thare's a wee threap anent the
quasiten 'Dialect or language?'

Onie feedback is aye walcome.

I thought you may be interested to know tht I have updated my website  'Wir
Ain Leid - An Innin tae Modren Scots'.

I've redone the chapters on pronunciation and orthography. The central
Scots bias has now been removed. The spelling conventions are explained
from the view point of each dialect. the idea being to show how most Scots
dialects may be spelled using the same orthography. IPA symbols are uised.
Thare a small discussion on the question 'Dialect or Language?'

Any feedback is always welcome.
