I think this is THE best place to ask this question. And believe me, I won't feel bad if you get a giggle out of this. BUT......I was wondering....is there a book or website that can help me write a character's speech pattern if they were from let's say Ireland or Scotland. I haven't a clue how to do it.

I'm outling an original piece with a character who is from Scotland or Ireland (haven't decided yet.) I love those accents, but like I said, I don't know how to write them. I figure it would a phrasing issue, but if there was a place I could go to find out how to do it right....Wahoo!

And if it's just a matter of the character speaking and I mention that he has a burr to his voice or there was an Irish lilt to his words, maybe that would be all I needed to do.

Help?
