The traditional dialect spoken in the Shetland Isles, the
northernmost part of Scotland and Britain, is highly distinct. It
displays distinct, characteristic features on all linguistic levels
and particularly in its sound system, or its phonology. The dialect
is one of the lesser- known varieties of English within the Inner
Circle. Increasing interest in the lesser- known varieties of
English in recent years has brought a realization that there are
still blanks on the map, even within the very core of the Inner
Circle. Sundkvist's comprehensive treatise draws upon results from
a three- year research project funded by the Bank of Sweden
Tercentenary Foundation, for which a phonological survey of the
Shetland dialect was carried out between 2010 and 2012. This book
is a useful resource for those working on historical linguistics
and is intended to serve as a comprehensive description and
accessible reference source on one of the most distinct lesser-
known varieties of English within Britain. It documents and offers
a systematic account of the rich regional variation as well as
being a reference source for those studying the historical
formation and emergence of the Shetland dialect and language
variation and change in Shetland, as well as those within the
broader field of Germanic linguistics.
