Ah wis jist thinkin tae masel',sel', mibbe a wee bit o' elucidation aboot the Scots language is in order.Scots is a mixture o' German,Norse an' Gaelic wi' ah wee dram o' Anglo Saxon thrown in.Dependin oan the area in question various modes o' speech evolved.
For instance,Doric,Lallans,Braid Scots an' pure Gaelic.The area ah'm fae,Glesca, is a bit o' a hybrid whit includes "Glasca Patter"
The Scots language,in aw' its forms is much mair colorfu' an' evocative than its English counterparts.Of course,ah'm slightly biased.
Oneywie,this site explains it better than ah can.Due tae the proximity o' England the "Mither Tung" as a vibrant an' livin language wis in danger o' deein oot.
It is only by the results o' a few defeats in battle that "English" became predominant.That an' the translation o' the Bible intae English.Ah postit bits o' the "Glesca Bible" a while back.
Due tae the upsurge in Scottish Nationalism the Scots tung is noo encouraged in the schools lately, as opposed tae beatin the shit oot o' yer for speakin it when ah wis young.
