JoeDios.com Forums - View Single Post - How would you write a Scottish accent?

I'm working on Destro's intro. in the big dio (that's getting worked on REALLY slowly), and I have no clue how to write his accent. I do a decent Sean Connery impression, so I'll talk like him when I come to some dialogue to see how it sounds, and try to write it out that way.

Unfortunately, I can only put "szh" in the place of "s" so many times before I'm even confusing myself

There's also a slight change in the American "ou" with theirs'. For instance, "about" is almost "aboot" when they speak, but not quite.

So, how would you guys write the accent? What sounds am I probably missing?

Please, help a struggling writer cease his struggling ways!

Thanks everyone, and have fun!!!
