Dear Lowlanders,



I would like to draw your attention to two "new" interesting Scots

resources, with an emphasis on Shetlandic:



(1)

"The Language of Shetland: The Norn influence on the language"

(Apparently anonymous)

http://www.verbix.com/documents/norn.htm



(2)

"Wirhoose Home Page"

(by our own John Magnus Tait)

http://www.wirhoose.co.uk/



The latter is the gateway to two sets of presentation series:

"Inbuis ta Shaetlan" (Introduction to Shetland(ic))

"A Tait Wanchancie" (John Magnus's "ramblings")

Links to these sites are contained in the latest version of our
Scots Online Resources Guide:
http://www.geocities.com/sassisch/rhahn/lowlands/links_scots.htm

To the Dutch Online Resource Guide
(http://www.geocities.com/sassisch/rhahn/lowlands/links_nederlands.htm)
I have added a link to the home page of the Meertens Instituut
(http://www.meertens.nl/, affiliated with the Koninklijke Nederlandse
Akademie van Wetenschappen).  Besides several introductions to research
projects, the Meertens Instituut site offers searchable name, language
and culture databases:

Familienamen [Family Names]
Feesten [Holidays]
Voornamen [Given names]
Volksverhalen [Folktales]
Namen (Centraal Bevolkingsregister 1947) [Names, National Census 19947)


Regards,

Reinhard/Ron
