Scottish dude sitting next to me reckons that in Scotland the letter J is pronounced Jye (rhymes with eye) rather than Jay (rhymes with hay) like it is in England.
Is this true?

Aye

Depends.

@Nicola_Sturgeon
Depends
Och j the noo
I don’t do this.
have you ever heard another Scottish person do it?
Not sure
reckon he’s pulling your lag mate
lag is scottish for leg
I have said it. I am Scottish. I don’t always say it that way.
And now I can’t get govinda jaya jaya out of my head
i have heard this a lot from scottish people but also have heard it pronounced the normal way by scottish people. in short: depends
just because people pronounce it differently doesn’t mean it depends though
Indeed.
It’s like is it ‘aitch’ or ‘haitch’. Of course, it’s the former, but that doesn’t stop people using the latter pronunciation.
