Lowlanders,

I've put up a new collection of poems and songs on Scotstext. These were
there in the past but this is a much improved version of these popular bawdy
verses with fully revised spelling to make them easier to read while better
showing the correct Scots pronunciation. I've also restored the censored
words, since I don't see why outdated moral values should obscure the Scots
vocabulary, some of which may not be obvious to learners.

It's at:

Here's a sample text, but be warned that many of them are much coarser!

Green Sleeves
=========

Green sleeves an tartan ties
Mark my true love whare she lies:
I'll be at her or she rise,
My fiddle an I thegither.

Be it by the chrystal burn,
Be it by the milkwhite thorn;
I shall rouse her in the morn,
My fiddle an I thegither.

Subject: Low German phonotactics

To Whom It May Concern:

    Greetings. My name is Mike Putnam. I am currently a Ph.D student in
German(ic) Lingusitics at the University of Kansas. A colleague of mine and
I
are working on a publication dealing w/ the phonological structure of East
Frisian Low German spoken in Grundy Co., Iowa. We were wondering if any
previous theorectical works (articles and/or dissertations preferrably
dealing
with Optimality Theory) exist that deal in depth w/ the phonology and/or
phonotactics of : Western Low German, East Frisian Low German, Frisian, and
Dutch.

     Thank you for any assistance that you can provide.

Sincerely,

Mike Putnam
