Scots wha hae! Whit think ye?

There's likely lots of real Scots words that could be use instead. Remember that this is "Scots leid". It was written like this before the Union. The Scottish Government is now actively promoting this. We do speak it after all and have done for hundreds of years. Learn today.

Whit's Scots

"Scots is the tradeetional Germanic leid o Lawland Scotland an the northren isles. It is yaised in pairts o Ulster forby. Mainly a spoken language, it haes a nummer o dialects, ilkane kenspeckle in its ain richt. Alang wi Scots-accentit Soothron an Gaelic, it is ane o the three main languages o Scotland the day."

Whaur did it come fae?

Scots cam first fae the Northren Auld-Angles leid that the Angles brocht tae the sooth-east o whit is noo Scotland in the seevent century. They war amang the Germanic-speakin fowk that cam tae the British Isles fae the fift century on. English is sprung fae the language o thae fowk forby.

This actually was the way these things were pronounced in Middle English, e.g. Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales".

P.S. The vowels were pronounced differently as well.
