  I've probably spoken with 3 or 4 Scots in my entire my entire life, and I've heard a few speak in various news/radio spots. Listening to a Scottish person speak really sounds like someone speaking English with a heavy accent. Seeing it written is nothing short of amazing.

    The Socts language[0] is not to be confused with Scottish English[1] (although it's easy to see the elements of the Scottish accent in English in Scots orthography). Scots is a fellow-descendant from Middle English (alongside modern English), with some minor grammatical, and more substantial vocabulary divergence.

  Ah yes, time to go and read some Irine Welsh books again. > Thing is though, Spud, whin yir intae skag, that's it. That's aw yuv goat tae worry aboot. Ken Billy, ma brar, likes? He's jist signed up tae go back intae the fuckin army. He's gaun tae fucking Belfast, the stupid cunt. Ah always knew that the fucker wis tapped. Fuckin imperialist lackey. Ken whit the daft cunt turned roond n sais tae us? He goes: Ah cannae fuckin stick civvy street. Bein in the army, it's like being a junky. The only difference is thit ye dinnae git shot at sae often bein a junky. Besides, it's usually you that does the shootin. https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/809012---thing-is-though-spud-whin-yir-intae-skag-that-s-it https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/809012---thing-is-though-sp...
