Correspondents who have supplied special dialect information
The following is a list of codes which identify individuals who supplied special dialect information to the editors of the Scottish National Dictionary. The codes consist of a regional label plus a number. A key to the regional labels is presented here. The codes are arranged alphanumerically, with leading lowercase letters (i.e. which indicate sub-regions) ignored.
The final column indicates whether the contributor was also an excerptor (E), organiser of district excerptors (O), typescript reader (R), or sub-editor (S). Many contributors fulfilled several of these functions.
