Allen

So I've done some more reading on the Allen last name. Dad had heard that the name was Scottish. It appears that this could be true as wikipedia says that it's derived from the word aluinn which means "handsome". This is obviously talking about me.

Anyway... I'm gearing up to switch to Scottish language. I actually have a CD on Gaelic that I bought awhile back and I thought it was Irish but it was Scottish. So I've got a head start!

One of the first phrases that people learn is "I love you" for whatever reason. French is:

• Je t'aime (Zuh tim)
  

Scottish apparently is:

• "Tha gaol agam ort." (Hah GEUL AH-kum orsht)
  

It just trips off the tongue doesn't it.
