Scottish is not English – join Team Scotistani and learn some popular Scottish words and their meanings. We share with you some Scottish words we love and now use in our everyday communication.
Scotland’s three officially recognised languages include English, the Scots, and Scottish-Gaelic.English is spoken by 99% of the Scottish population, while Scots and Scottish Gaelic are the most common minority languages in the country.
To find out the reason why almost everyone in Scotland speaks English one has to dig deep into the country’s past and look at the interactions that have taken place in England and Scotland during the history of the two countries. In 1701, the Kingdom of Scotland merged with the Kingdom of England, leading to the formation of the Great Britain. In 1801, Great Britain joined with Ireland, resulting in the formation of the UK. As a result of this merging of the kingdoms, the people of Scotland gradually shifted towards the use of English in communication. However, they did not speak Standard English but developed their unique dialect known as Scottish English. This dialect has the high influence of Gaelic.
Scotistani aims to connect the diverse communities in Scotland as well as the Pakistani diaspora worldwide. We will promote cultural, educational and commercial ties between Scotland and Pakistan and celebrate all things - Scottish, Pakistani and Scotistani....
