Synopsis

The book titled ""The Dialect of Banffshire: With a Glossary of Words Not in Jamieson's Scottish Dictionary (1866)"" is a comprehensive study of the unique language and vocabulary of Banffshire, a historic county in Scotland. The author, Walter Gregor, was a Scottish folklorist and linguist who extensively researched the dialect and language of Banffshire in the mid-19th century.The book is divided into two main sections. The first section provides an overview of the dialect of Banffshire, including its pronunciation, grammar, and syntax. Gregor also explores the history and development of the dialect, tracing its roots back to the ancient Celtic language of Scotland.The second section of the book is a glossary of words and phrases not found in Jamieson's Scottish Dictionary, a popular reference work at the time. The glossary includes over 1,000 entries, each with a detailed definition and examples of usage in context. Many of the words and phrases are unique to Banffshire and offer a fascinating glimpse into the rich linguistic heritage of the region.Overall, ""The Dialect of Banffshire"" is an important contribution to the study of Scottish dialects and linguistics. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of Scotland, as well as for linguists and scholars studying dialects and languages.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
