The difference between speaking English vs speaking Scots, wanting union vs wanting indy, self improvement vs heroin addiction, is the civilised/white Black person divide. I say that as an Irish Catholic btw
Today I will remind them.
What is this crap I don't understand a word
90 percent of the Scots Wiki was completely made up by one autistic American using a vocab dictionary and no one noticed for 7 years because it's a bullshit language.
Sounds somewhat similar to the Bavarian language wiki. There's a ton of different Bavarian dialects but the wiki is using a weird watered down mix of them all
A single American furry teenager created most of the Scots wikipedia by simply doing stuff like replacing every "to" with "tae", "from" with "frae" etc. This went on for years because he was the head administrator of the Scots Wiki, and nobody cared about the Scots """language""" enough to do anything about that.
To add to
and
, the thing was discovered by someone who first posted it to this very board, though the advice was to tell reddit and that's how the deception got unveiled
If Galician and Portuguese are separate languages, then Scots and English are as well
it's fricking pidgin ffs
>pidgin
no it isn't
Everything that isn't English is pidgin. How does this make you feel?
it's literally a more archaic form of english with less influence from latin french and norman
its the opposite of a pidgin
>less influence from latin french and norman
Thats funny since medieval Scottish writers regularly stated their language had more french than English in England and oxford studies of Scottish texts showy they had equal numbers of french to English texts
cope
"""scots""" is more english than english itself
Various Scottish authors over centuries. All of them used roughly equal or more Latin and French than English writers.
Jesus this is bad, was it the Norman influence that effected Scots? If anything the modern Scottish identity has a dilemma and their leaders seem to not give a shit. More Americans larp a scotsmen then actual scots these days. If Scotland was independent then they could make reforms to Germanize the language.
"Scots" arrived in Scotland during the 1100s from England so it would be the same as that

Why?
Source? This looks very interesting

And from the dictionary of the scots language website
It again shows a large French vocabulary

In th' second century ay th' christian æra, th' empire ay rome comprehended th' fairest part ay th' earth, an' th' most civilized portion ay mankin'. th' frontiers ay 'at extensife monarchy waur guarded by ancient renoon an' disciplined valur. th' gentle but powerful influence ay laws an' manners hud gradually cemented th' union ay th' provinces. their peaceful inhabitants enjoyed an' abused th' advantages ay gear an' luxury. th' image ay a free constitution was preserved wi' brain new reverence: th' roman senate appeared tae possess th' sovereign authority, an' devolved oan th' emperors aw th' executife powers ay government. durin' a canty period ay mair than foorscair years, th' public administration was conducted by th' virtue an' abilities ay nerva, trajan, hadrian, an' th' tois antonines. it is th' design ay thes, an' ay th' tois succeedin' chapters, tae describe th' prosperoos condition ay their empire; an' afterwards, frae th' death ay marcus antoninus, tae deduce th' most important circumstances ay its decline an' fall; a revolution which will ever be remembered, an' is still felt by th' nations ay th' earth.

Kino.
This is the language English could have been if the bad guys didn't win.
Neither. It's lack of education with a bad attitude and a victim complex.
