Traditional Dialect of Caithness


This was the dialect of Caithness. The data for these dialect pages is mostly taken from "The English Dialect Grammar" by Joseph Wright, 1905. Unfortunately, Wright doesn’t give many examples of the Caithness dialect which is why this page appears so empty. I have no intention of leaving Caithness out however!
