Thread Name: Folklore: Is Scots a Language or a Dialect?
Subject: RE: BS: Is Scots a Language or a Dialect?

A 16th.C writer laments that the English language was so impoverised
that they were having to borrow from the Italian,French,Spanish,
Dutch and Scottish.
It would appear that some at least recognised Scots as a separate
language.
