In this programme pupils are asked to listen to and explore the Ulster-Scots language of people in Northern Ireland and to find out why we speak the way we do. John and Ann discover that local accents and dialect words are a source of linguistic diversity and enrichment. The programme explains how the streams of language which come from Scotland, Ireland and England converge to give us the rich flow of language we use in Ulster today. The programme also emphasises that language is not static but is still picking up words and phrases from a variety of sources
