Doric, the popular name for Mid Northern Scots or Northeast Scots, refers to the Scots as spoken in the northeast of Scotland. There is an extensive body of literature, mostly poetry, ballads, and songs, written in Doric. In some literary works, Doric is used as the language of conversation while the rest of the work is in Lallans Scots or Scottish English. A number of 20th and 21st century poets have written poetry in the Doric dialect.
