Scots dialect

Scots dialect refers to a group of closely related varieties of the Scots language, spoken primarily in Scotland. It has its roots in Old English and has been influenced by Scottish Gaelic and Norse. Scots can vary significantly across regions, with distinct pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar. It is often recognized for its rich literary tradition, featuring works from notable writers like Robert Burns. While some may consider it a form of English, Scots is a separate language with its own identity, reflecting the culture and history of Scotland. The dialect fosters a strong sense of local pride and heritage.
