Language Glossary

Scots

Scots is a language that comes from the same route as English and is spoken by the Àrdish who live in the South of Seann Àite.

The Scots language spoken by the Àrdish is loosely based on the Stirlingshire and Galloway dialects in Scotland. Scots changes depending on where you are, with many dialects that can be very different from one another, such as Ulster Scots and Doric.
