@Ouijaloveletters I noticed you’ve been trying to give Aithne a scottish accent
I can give you tips since I’ve written scottish accents before (@anon41771169 love you and our fanfics~) and I can give you some tips.

@ethereal

here you go! Let me know which you like, if any, and if you need me to look for more Sorry if some of them aren’t androgynous enough, it was harder than I thought…

That first one and second one danke danke so much for your heard work. I adore you so much

@LunaticLeviTheSecond

ORP: The “…” is meant to refpresent a pause in the sentence not him breathing, I’ll answer this as soon as I finish the bio for my new character though …

@Ouijaloveletters

“You alrigh tha? You sound like you’re outta breath!”

sorry forogot not allowed to ORP on the official thread

[LunaticLeviTheSecond]

she says Aithne is supposed to be irish, but theres a bit of scottish and welsh in there too considering she also knows gaelic and scottish and welsh are also gaelic languages.

[Ouijaloveletters]

I’m not good with languages. I’m giving it my best shot.

[Ouijaloveletters]

Irish. Oops. I don’t know what I’m doing

[katabasis]

Will 'o wisps are scottish… Where did Aithne become Irish

[Ouijaloveletters]

Ehehe…um, oops

[Ouijaloveletters]

Oh god. It said they were Irish! Damnit

[Ouijaloveletters]

I sound like an idiot. At least the accent was right…sorta

[katabasis]

Some examples and tips

@Ouijaloveletters

“You alrigh tha? You sound like you’re outta breath!” I exclaimed, placing my hand on his shoulder. “Jus calm down, you’re fine…” I said.

Scottish accent: Ye alright there? Ye sound like yer outta’ breath!" I exclaimed, placing my hand on his shoulder. “Jus’ calm down, yer fine.”

@Ouijaloveletters

“Oh, I’m so sorry abo’ tha’. I’m an (1)ejit. I got em mixed up.”

One: Scottish Translation: “Oh, I’m so sorry about that. I’m an (1)ejit. A got 'em mixed up.”
Two: This never happens with actual bilingual characters where they switch to another language of one word of the sentence.

[Ouijaloveletters]

Oh my god, Brave is Scottish…well, I saw brave, s o I’m doing something right…now I need to look up Scottish sland instead of Irish.

[Ouijaloveletters]

Oh, thank you.

[katabasis]

You really don’t lol.

• Replace “I” with A
• Replace “you” with ye
• Replace “your” with yer

and I’ll think up of more later probably…
As for writing bilingual characters

[Ouijaloveletters]

Will definitely do research. I probably just offended Scottish and Irish people everywhere…and I have Irish heritage…

[katabasis]

It’s just good for you to acknowledge it

Another resource for writing bilingual characters

[Ouijaloveletters]

@katabasis

Replace “I” with A

So, Instead of “I did this, A did this?”

[katabasis]

Yes.

[Ouijaloveletters]

Ok thanks so much. As you can tell, I’m completely new to this. I’m just glad I figured it out now before I seriously offended someone
