Love Glaswegian?

Glasgow is one of the largest cities in Scotland.

And it's also known for its Scottish Premier League club Celtic, where Shunsuke Nakamura played from 2005 to 2009.




But...heve you ever heard the English spoken in Glasgow?

This survey has been published in Dr. Robert McKenzie's new book "The Social Psychology of English as Global Language".
