Ullansn.

Brit. /ˈʌlənz/, U.S. /ˈələnz/
Origin: Formed within English, by blending. Etymons: Ulster n., Lallans at Lallan n.
Etymology: Blend of Ulster n. and Lallans at Lallan n.Originally coined in early 1993 as the title for the journal of the Ulster-Scots Language Society (in imitation of Lallans, the title of the journal of the Scots Language Society), and also explained as an acronym from the initial letters of Ulster-Scots Language in Literature and Native Speech:1993 Ullans: The Mag. for Ulster-Scots 1 5 The title Ullans is an acronym of our purpose—to support the Ulster-Scots Language in Literature and Native Speech, but it can be taken any way you like. It is also a pun on Lallans (the Scots word for ‘lowlands’ that was first used by Robert Burns to describe the ‘lowland Scotch tongue’), or even as a mix of the words ‘Uladh’ (Gaelic for ‘Ulster’) and ‘lands’.
