Much of the difference between Scots and English is the pronunciation of a common word so each are dialects of the same language.There are also several different regional dialects within Scotland and England and some of those are quite baffling to me. Then there is BBC English which can be a hoot if some Scots words or placenames are involved.
I am reminded of an old Yiddish saying that "A language is a dialect with a fleet & an army." Still I had thought the differences between other forms of English & Scots were (at least recently) considered enough to qualify Scots as a seperate (if mutually intelligible) languages. Is that not the case? |

I've not heard of anyone claiming Scottish English to be classified as a separate language, even by the more extreme Scottish Nationalists during the recent Scottish Independence Referendum campaign. There is a separate language in Scotland but that is Gaelic, not English! |
