The Doric

[Rex_Tremende]

I've a question for you-- why's it called "doric"?

My dictionary says:

Doric |ˈdôrik; ˈdär-|
adjective
1 [...]
2 relating to or denoting the ancient Greek dialect of the Dorians.
• archaic (of a dialect) broad; rustic.
noun
1 [...]
2 the ancient Greek dialect of the Dorians.
• a broad or rustic dialect, esp. the dialect spoken in northeastern Scotland. [ORIGIN: by association with the ancient Greek dialect, perceived as rustic.]

Regards,
Rex.
