It's a lower/working class Scottish accent specific to a particular region, and keep in mind that many of the characters are junkies. I'm not surprised you can't understand what the characters are saying it if you're not a native English speaker. Hell, it's even hard for English speakers not from Scotland to understand. I have to switch to received pronunciation when talking to non-Scottish people because my normal accent a bumbfuck mutant drawl.
The author of the book Trainspotting, Irvine Welsh, actually writes in a phonetic manner to convey the way the characters speak and it makes his work somehwat inaccessible to ESLs or people who aren't every literate.
>Cant English be banned in the UK and replaced by US-American to make everybodys lives easier?
