Hello folks. Would anyone enlighten me in the way which a Scotsman would talk?
So far, from what I have heard, most of u and o sounds are umlauted like in German...

See "Braveheart" in English - Mel Gibson does quite a good job I gather. And wear a kilt in very cold weather - that helps. Drink lots of whiskey, eat lots of white pudding and fried Mars Bars.

The Scots speak English just like us Sassenachs (well, not exactly like us but close enough) - no umlauts!

Unless you mean Gaelic which is a celtic language.
