The Relationship of Scots to Other Germanic Languages By the end of the fifteenth century the Inglis language of Scotland was being called Scottis to distinguish it from the language of England. The following period in the development of Scots, known as Middle Scots, brought forth an abundance of literature based around the Royal Court in Edinburgh and the University of St. Andrews. Master pieces by writers such as Henrysoun (c.1420-c.1490), Dunbar (?1460-?), Douglas (c.1467-1552), and Lynsay (?1490-1555) saw the introduction of a great many French and Latin words into Scots. At the same time the spellings employed by these writers indicated many pronunciation changes that were probably due to natural developments in the language. By the end of the seventeenth century the continued influence of English writers like Chaucer and later Elisabethan English literature, started to have an effect on the spelling of Scots. The Development of English and Scots The revival of the eighteenth century continued into the nineteenth century, with the publication of Jamieson's Etymological Dictionary of the Scottish Language. Scots was once again being regarded as the national language by the intelligentsia, although use of it for any purpose other than literary was frowned upon. Writers such as Galt, Macdonald, Stevenson, Barrie and Crocket followed the lead set by Scott by using Scots dialogue in their novels.

    Extractions: Back to Scotland The majority of Scotland's population speak English, a consequence of England's political and cultural domination during 3-400 years. But there are two other - lesser known - languages that have been there far longer, and they are still there. That's Gaelic and Scots. A thousand years ago the majority of the Scottish population spoke Gaelic. Nowadays the language has largely been reduced to the Highlands and Islands. By the latest census in 1991 the language was brought down to 66.000, a poor 1,5% of a population of 5+ million. And it is still falling, since the 66.000 are mainly elderlies. Gaelic is a very endangered language. But during the last 20 years it has experienced a revival which is part of the rising awareness - or creation of - a separate Scottish identity. Pop and rock stars sing in Gaelic, all the political parties want to protect Gaelic. There is a growing movement for Scottish Kindergartens/Pre-schools. Many schools now teach what was once a proscribed language and TV and radio broadcast in Gaelic. Together with tartan and whisky and bagpipes Gaelic is part of the romantic Scottish myth, and most Scots believe it is Scotland's aboriginal language. They also believe it is impossibly difficult.

    Extractions: I thought I'd write this to help people sing and understand Gaelic song and traditional Gaelic singing better. This article has been praised by various people involved with traditional Gaelic singing, including lecturers and former lecturers at the School of Scottish Studies. Much of what is written here deals with Gaelic song, but in many ways traditional Gaelic singing in Scotland has strong links with traditional Irish singing and traditional Scots singing too so I hope this article is also of interest to traditional singers beyond Scots Gaelic. For the purposes of singing Gaelic song, there are only two categories: Dance tunes (puirt) and work songs (includes waulking songs, rowing, reaping and other work songs). Rhythm takes precedence (rule 1) In type 1, the rhythm is paramount. The rhythm must fall at exactly even intervals otherwise the dance won't work, or the work song won't achieve its purpose. This causes "false stresses". In Gaelic, the stress is nearly always on the first syllable. An example of a false stress occurs in the waulking song "Mhurchaidh bhig" (on "Music from the Western Isles"). Gaelic stresses are marked with G, music only with M GM GM GM GM Mhurchaidh Bhig a chinn a chonais GM G M GM GM chan ioghnadh tu dhol a dholaidh

    Extractions: Scottish Gaelic , or just Gaelic SAMPA /"gAlIk/ ), is a member of the Goidelic branch of Celtic languages . The branch includes Scottish and Irish Gaelic as well as Manx Gaelic , and is distinct from the Brythonic branch, which includes Welsh Cornish , and Breton . Scottish, Manx and Irish Gaelic are all descended from Old Irish . For this reason, it is preferable to refer to it as Scottish Gaelic or to avoid confusion with the two other tongues. Place names in their original Gaelic are becoming increasingly common on road signs throughout the Scottish Highlands. Gaelic is the traditional language of the Gaels , the Celtic ethnic group now mainly in the Scottish Highlands , and the historical language of most of Scotland . As such, it occupies a special place in Scottish culture, and is recognised by many Scots, regardless of whether they speak Gaelic, as being a priceless part of the nation's culture, though others may view it primarily as a regional language. Gaelic has a rich oral tradition ( beul aithris ), having been the language of the bardic culture of the Highland

    Extractions: Scottish Place Names This is an informal guide to the Scots tongue for the benefit of occasional visitors to Scotland. It makes no claims to be authoritative, complete or accurate. The major regions in Scotland (e.g. Aberdeen, Ayrshire, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Fife, Inverness) have their own distinct accents and dialect words. See, for example, the Glasgow Patter books by Michael Munro (Holmes McDougall, Glasgow). Many older words survive thanks to the poetry of Robert Burns and others. Only words in general use are included below. There are dictionaries of Scottish words; for example, see the Concise Scots Dictionary (Aberdeen University Press). Sound/Word Pronunciation ch This is an aspirated 'k' sound as in the German 'ach'. Gaelic glottal stop In some areas of Scotland (e.g. Glasgow), the final 't' of a word is not pronounced. Instead the throat is closed to cut the word off. Thus 'bit' might sound more like 'bih' (with a short and truncated vowel), or 'water' as 'wa-er'.

    Extractions: The future of Scottish English depends on the degree to which Scots go on using their version of an international language. The future of Gaelic, Scotland's second language, depends purely on whether people speak it or not. It is a completely separate tongue, with its unique vocabulary and grammar, as different from English as are Greek or Polish. But it is in trouble, despite a recent revival in interest. What was a thousand years ago the speech of Scotland's kings has now dwindled to the extent that less than 2 percent of the nation's inhabitants speak it. The stronghold of Scottish Gaelicwhich is closely related to, but quite distinct from, Irish Gaelicis in the northwest Highlands and in the Western Isles, although large numbers of native speakers live in the Central Belt, especially in Glasgow (over ten thousand). The highest concentration of all occurs on the island of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. The largest town there, Stornoway, is the base for the civic authority, the Western Isles Council

    Extractions: -Free E-cards ... Links I. History By: Andrew V. Liaugminas The history of the Scottish Gaelic language begins in Central Europe in the 5th century B.C., where a new tribe was taking Europe by storm - the Celts. This tribe was a hospitable group, placing much importance on family and friends - and widely known for their strength and valor in combat, and strong sense of culture in time of peace. Winning battle after battle, the Celts eventually conquered most of modern Europe; occupying lands from the Iberian peninsula in the west, to the Scottish highlands in the north, spanning Europe to the Black Sea in the East, and touching as far south as Central Italy. During their history, the Celts gathered many names from the other tribes and cultures in Europe. The very word "Celt" comes from " Keltoi " (meaning "secret people"), which was the Ancient Greek name for the tribe. Regionally, the Celts who lived in the Iberian Peninsula were identified as
