And I gotta say it wasn't even that funny... Just being honest.
The line that seperates language from dialect is damned near impossible to define, but I think the clincher for Scots being a language is that it has a written history stretching back to the Middle Ages, whereas what we now think of as English has only been spoken here relatively recently.It seems like a dialect of English, and not a different language of its own
I take it you mean the original language of Scotland? If so then try looking for Pictish...but good luck, its lost for ever. The Irish Celts brought Gaelic over.believe that the original language of Ireland was a Gaelic/Celtic language (as was the case with Ireland as well).
Yes, that't what I meant. I fucked up, and put Ireland. I thought Pictish was a Celtic/Gaelic language.I take it you mean the original language of Scotland? If so then try looking for Pictish...but good luck, its lost for ever. The Irish Celts brought Gaelic over.
Impossible to say now, really. Its true that some Pictish names resemble Gaelic, but there's not enough information on it to be sure.I thought Pictish was a Celtic/Gaelic language
