Shetland Forwirds, 'a group dedicated to celebrating and promoting Shetland dialect', which, as they say, 'has both Nordic and Scottish roots', has just launched
a splendid new website. Here you can both read and listen to examples of dialect texts, look things up in
an online version of John Graham's dictionary, and generally wallow in all things Shetlandic. The section on
'Proverbs and Sayings' will explain the title above!
You're very welcome.
