      @@mrkitcatt2119 Actually it's an officially recognised Language by the Scottish government due to it's one-sided ease of comprehension and use of unique or non-english loanwords which cause mutual intelligibility to be , if purely Scots words are spoken , close to impossible. The Doric or Orkney dialects of the Scots Language present this in a rather obvious manner. For example :
      English: Many a man would be a very big fool not to like this cavern
      Scots (Doric) : Mony (a) cheil wuid be a gye muckl stirk tae laikna yon hoolin
      Please do research into linguistic classification before commenting.
      Whilst it's still debated to a degree it is obvious enough in classification difference that it IS a recognised native language alongside Gàidhlig and English

    And by the way, yes, this is English. Officially. It's just a dialect. Oh but Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish are three separate languages despite being far more mutually intelligible than Scots and English. Don't be fooled, though. Scots speakers will understand you speaking English just fine. But it doesn't matter how slowly they speak, you'll never understand.
