Does anybody know which version of Scots is being used in Asterix and the Pechts?
Well, rigain-mor answered my question already:
“The Gauls speak Glaswegian, the Picts speak Doric and the Romans speak Dundonian.”
How neat is that? 🙂
It seems Asterix translators often use this approach in languages that don’t have one ‘official’ version, but several regional varieties.
In the Limburgisch version of Asterix and the Banquet—in which they visit lots of different towns—you’ll read the different varieties of Limburgisch as spoken in Kerkrade, Maastricht, Sittard, Nuth, Valkenberg, Bocholt, Heerlen, Echt, Geleen, Roermond, Venlo, Venray, Weert and Kinrooi!
