/h/ and /j/

/h/-dropping is not generally reported for Scottish English (Wells 1982: 412). It is only rarely apparent in e.g. enclitic him, her. Similarly, yod-dropping appears to function much as Wells states, i.e. after [l] and commonly after [s], with only sporadic instances elsewhere. Clusters with yod, such as [tj] in nature, which have undergone coalescence to [tʃ] in Standard English are still retained by some speakers (Wells 1982: 412; Macafee 1983: 32–33). In Urban Scots /hj/ in e.g. Hugh, human can be realized as  or [ʃ] .
