According to the Scotsman newspaper in Scotland, they’ve apparently got 421 different ways to describe snow. Yeah, because who needs a simple, straightforward word like “snow” when you can turn it into a linguistic masterpiece?

I mean, they’ve got “sneesl” for when snow can’t make up its darn mind and switches between rain and snow. And let’s not forget “flindrikin”—because, you know, slight snow showers need to be elegant and delicate, of course. And don’t even get me started on “spitters” for those microscopic, practically invisible snowflakes.

Scotland, you sure know how to keep the language game strong when it comes to snow. Slow clap.

How to pronounce “sneesl”? The standard English pronunciation is like /ˈsnizəl/, with “ee” as in “see” and the “z” and “l” sounds as in regular English.

All the other words I couldn’t find anywhere. Unfortunately according to the Daily Record Scottish is a dying language.
