The Glasgow patter, or Glaswegian, is a Scots dialect spoken in and around Glasgow, Scotland. In addition to local West Mid Scots, the dialect has Highland English and Hiberno-English influences, owing to the speech of Highlanders and Irish people, who migrated in large numbers to the Glasgow area in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The ''Patter'' is used widely in everyday speech in Glasgow, and even occasionally in broadcasting and print. It is constantly evolving and being updated with new euphemisms as well as nicknames for well-known local figures and buildings. ==In the media== Michael Munro wrote a guide to Glasgow Patter entitled ''The Patter'', first published in 1985. With illustrations by David Neilson, and later by the Paisley-born artist and playwright John Byrne, the book became very popular in Glasgow. It was followed by ''The Patter - Another Blast'' in 1988, with ''The Complete Patter'', an updated compendium of the first and second books, being published in 1996. In the 1970s, the Glasgow-born comedian Stanley Baxter parodied the patter on his television sketch show. "Parliamo Glasgow" was a spoof programme in which Baxter played a language coach and various scenarios using Glaswegian dialogue were played out for laughs. Jamie Stuart, a Church of Scotland elder from the High Carntyne Church, produced "A Glasgow Bible" in 1997, relating some biblical tales in the Glaswegian vernacular. More recently, in 2014 ''Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'' was translated into Glaswegian Scots by Thomas Clark as ''Alice's Adventirs in Wunnerlaun''. Popular Scottish television comedies such as Rab C. Nesbitt, Chewin' the Fat, Still Game and Limmy's Show also provide reference material, and have themselves contributed popular new expressions to The Patter. HarperCollins Publishers produce a Scots dictionary entitled Collins "Pocket Scots Dictionary" in which it lists many Glasgow Scots words and expressions spoken in the Glaswegian vernacular. Published 1996, ISBN 000 470716-8. Cassell publish a "Dictionary of Slang" by Jonathon Green with slang for the English language as spoken in the UK, USA and worldwide including many words and expressions from Scots dialect and the Glasgow vernacular.
