But what's a language? Swedes and Norwegians and Danes can, basically, understand each other. Hindi and Urdu or Indonesian and Malaysian are the same day-to-day language but they have different technical and formal terms. Is there a language boundary between Scots and English, or is Scots a dialect? Language is just as fraught politically as anything else.
