Scottish accents found to be 'flourishing' while other British dialects are dying out

• Linguists studied audio recordings made throughout the 20th century

• However, the Scottish accent is 'flourishing' by keeping a number of its strongest and most recognisable sounds and traits
• This is because changes to the accent have evolved locally not nationally
