There's blether and banter galore for Ulster-Scots language week as Helen Mark and the team celebrate the richness of the words and phrases we use in everyday conversation.
Thereβs blether and banter galore for Ulster-Scots language week with language events planned across the country. Helen Mark and Willie Hill are reminded that the Ulster-Scots prefer to βtell it like it isβ when describing someoneβs character β and itβs not always an insult!
Jonnie Crawford hears from Dr Frank Ferguson about the positive changes regarding the language over recent years and Rab Lennox has a roundup of some of the Ulster-Scots language events taking place this week.
Itβs yarning of another kind for Diana Culbertson who visits a very friendly group near Derrykeighan and rediscovers her love of knitting.
With Thanksgiving Day drawing close, Helen meets a visitor whoβs thankful for the Ulster-Scots heritage and drive of his forebears β among them, Americaβs 11th President, James Knox Polk.
The team is always delighted to hear from listeners β especially if youβve an Ulster-Scot yarns or event to advertise. You can contact them anytime by email β Kintra@bbc.co.uk - or say hello if you see them out and about.
