    Sure.

    It would probobly be better if you used actual Scottish.
  • TheConductorTheConductor
    That is Scottish. 
  • Tnu1138Tnu1138
    sounded like English with a Funetik Aksent.
  • TheConductorTheConductor
    Yes this why I always go with the wonderful theory of if you don't know what you're talking about, keep you're God damned mouth shut.

    That language is what is known as "Scottish English", it evolved from the English occupation in Scotland, as a kind of compromise between English itself and Gaelic.

    There's a difference between a language (German) and a dialect (Scottish English).
  • TheConductorTheConductor
    ^ No. Scottish English IS a language. I'll thank you to keep your mouth shut thank you very much.

    ^^ Yeah,they are both annoying when spoken around people who don't know them.

    Oh wait you said difference....

    Actually, I should be the last one saying this.
  • ChagenChagen

    Conductor: It's understandable to English speakers.

    Ergo, it's a dialect. Do note that Linguists disagree on when something is a dialect or a language.

    Also, I research languages for fun. If you're so big and bad, then explain to me the difference between an aggluntative and an isolational language.

    Catalan and Gallego are understandable to Spanish speakers and both are languages
  • ChagenChagen

    Then they straddle the dialect/language line.

    There's a lot of disagreement as to when that line is crossed.
  • TheConductorTheConductor
    Chagen, I was pointing out that I don't like people insulting my language or culture. Scots is recognised as a language in the UK Census forms.
  • ChagenChagen
    [tɕagɛn]
    Good for you. But Scots is different from Scottish English.

    ....Well, wikipedia has different articles for them.

    -SIGH- Are you really trying to lecture me on my own culture? The language is called "Scots" or "Scottish English". The dialect is also known as "Scottish English".
  • ChagenChagen

    Well, shit, how was I supposed to know that when I live across an ocean from it birthplace and current place of speaking?

    Never mind that giving two different things the same name is kinda ridiculous.

    Calm the fuck down.

    "Well, shit, how was I supposed to know that when I live across an ocean from it birthplace and current place of speaking?"

    I'll quote what I said to Tnu earlier; "Yes this why I always go with the wonderful theory of if you don't know what you're talking about, keep you're God damned mouth shut."

    "Never mind that giving two different things the same name is kinda ridiculous."

    It was hardly a conscious decision, it's just how things happen.
  • ChagenChagen

    Expecting people to just know this distinction when there is no way to make a logical deduction leading to the conclusion "Scottish English means two different things" is utterly ridiculous.

    Seriously man, U MAD?

    You can change. You can.

    But you come here all high and mighty thinking that you're right about something you're not right about. something you're note even knowledgeable about. 

    Look, when you ask questions before you give lectures, we'll start taking you seriously. Till then, you'll still be the guy who spouts stuff about languages he doesn't even know about.

    Juan, I personally simply assumed that Scottish English was a dialect of English because it was perfectly understandable to me. That's my subjective opinion on what a dialect should be. Its grammar is nearly the same too. Never mind that it has the word "English" in its name.

    If it is a different language, it is, but Conductor flipped the fuck out when I made a small mistake.

    I don't care about the Celtic/Germanic UK languages as much as the mainland Europe ones. Simple mistake, jesus.

    You made a mistake, true. But nobody here has a problem against that. What we do have a problem against is how you came here with posts like 

    Good for you. But Scots is different from Scottish English.


     and 

    Well, shit, how was I supposed to know that when I live across an ocean from it birthplace and current place of speaking?

    and expect us to somehow not feel offended.

    There's also the fact that Wikipedia said that Svots was different from Scottish English. Though, I think that was because they were talking about Scotland's dialect, not the Scottish Languages themselves.
