- gregorvand 2y agoThe article mentions not covering Doric or Scots since they are considered virtually second languages

- dfawcus 2y agoNot 'virtually', Scots is a different language to English, and Doric is a dialect of Scots. English and Scots are sibling languages, c.f. some of the geographically close Scandinavian languages. If you want a quick guide to languages in Britain, the site has an additional article which the original links to: https://starkeycomics.com/2019/03/01/every-native-british-and-irish-language/ https://starkeycomics.com/2019/03/01/every-native-british-an...
- gregorvand 2y agoThanks. I am Scottish originally and understand a lot of Scots. I guess I said 'virtually' since Gaelic is probably the only 'official' other language in Scotland but I agree Scots and Doric should be recognised as such.
