Introduction
The problem of writing modern Scots
There is a growing interest in writing modern Scots prose in books, articles and blogs, and many writers are keen to extend the use of Scots beyond its traditional role describing "the humorous, the sentimental, the nostalgic and the trivial". There is a problem though; it is often hard to find good Scots equivalents for quite common English words and phrases. At first sight Scots, and undeniably as a result of its hitherto restricted range of use seems to lack quite a lot of useful vocabulary. How do you say words like approach, anticipate, circumstance, deficient, interpret and modify? Existing dictionaries are only partially helpful; even the masterly Essential Scots Dictionary (ESD) currently the only 'prescriptive' Scots dictionary, listing some 5000 reasonably current words and phrases, is incomplete. If there is no obvious Scots equivalent in the ESD, the English entry is simply omitted. The writer is left with the conundrum of inserting English 'as-is' or finding a Scots circumlocution to avoid the English term or phrase altogether. Neither feels comfortable when done too much; the text becomes over-obtuse or over-Anglicised.
The Scots Learners' Dictionary

The approach of the Scots Learners' Dictionary is quite different therefore. It starts with the 3000 statistically most frequently used words and phrases in English non-fictional texts. 3000 was chosen as it is said that speakers actually only use about this number of words in everyday speech - though of course know many times more. This list was mapped against the ESD entries, and synonyms or near-equivalent Scots phrases suggested for as many of the 'missing' entries as possible. Where an equivalent could not be found the English word, sometimes with a slightly Scotticised spelling, has been listed for completeness. Additional vocabulary relating to specific Scottish contexts was added to localise the original generic list. Every effort was made however to keep within the current ESD vocabulary list to avoid archaic and Lallans-like artificial vocabulary. Lallans was a well-meaning attempt in the early 20th century to develop a formal Scots written form. Unfortunately Lallans relied on re-purposing archaic words making it almost unreadable to contemporary speakers and it soon fell into disuse and even ridicule. Begun as an experiment six years ago, the SLD frequency-based approach turned out to be straightforward, if time-consuming, begging the question why this was not done by professional lexicographers years ago. The success of this approach is really up to the user to judge, but by using the SLD I now find it relatively easy to produce consistent and authentic Scots prose.
How to use this dictionary

The SLD is part of a set of Scots learning materials and approaches at the Scots Haunbuik web site [ScotsHaunbuik.co.uk] and should be used in conjunction with the Scots Learners' Grammar. It should be remembered that the SLD is still a very restricted word-list, though, I recommend using the Essential Scots Dictionary, the Concise English-Scots Dictionary and other modern sources to broaden and enrich your vocabulary. The SLD is also a real work in progress. If users find more missing vocabulary, good Scots expressions I have forgotten, mistakes, typos or inconsistencies in the dictionary, please let me know and I will update it.
Spelling
I have chosen for the most part the ESD model as it seems to me to be the easiest for Englishspeaking learners to use. Even in this prescriptive model though there are several variants and there is no reason why some dialectical variation could not also be introduced; though care should be taken to use variants consistently and cautiously to ensure wide readability.
