How do you say hello in Scots dialect?

There are several ways to say hello in Scots dialect, depending on the region and the level of formality. Here are a few examples:

Formal:

* "Guid day" (Good day)

* "How do ye do?" (How do you do?)

* "Mornin'" (Morning)

Informal:

* "Hiya" (Hi)

* "Aboot ye?" (How are you?)

* "How's it hangin'?" (How's it going?)

* "How's things?" (How are things?)

* "Haud yer wheesht!" (Be quiet!) - this is a bit cheeky and playful, meaning "hello" only in a certain context

More specific greetings:

* "Hullo, there" (Hello there)

* "G'day" (Good day)
