Speak properly: Is Doric dying | Lauren Hay | TEDxAberdeen

At a time when we are encouraged to be our authentic selves, why are we discouraged from using our Mother Tongue? Lauren Hay dives deep into the fate of Doric - the Scots language spoken in the north-east of Scotland. While digital conversations and screen time are leading to less real life conversations, could social media platforms actually provide a means of preserving local dialects, saving them from extinction? Lauren shares stories from her childhood and work life exploring the disconnection of the Doric language from day to day life and unravels whether the north-east dialect is dying out. Lauren Hay launched her own business, Faramagan Studio back in 2019. Specialising in all things content creation, Lauren is passionate about social media management and copywriting. Born in Cullen, north of Aberdeen in Scotland, she is a keen traveller having visited 30 countries to date, sharing her adventures on her travel blog, Faramagan - Doric for "where am I going". This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
