Cannot understand my ancestral home dialect of English

Let's get this cleared. I'm no Scotsman except by ancestry, even then not pure. I'm no pedigree. Scots looks Mac a'ronic to me (get the pun?) I'm actually making a story about 3 Englishmen who are all culturally deaf, one of them is a CI user. It's a fiction, but it's scientifically plausible. They all know what you guys would call 'the Inglis leid' in writing, 2 of 3 in speech, but they all get confused when they hear a Scotsman. They also get confused when they see a deaf Scotsman signing. .:)!#JJhashisreasons (talk) 16:04, 12 Julie 2012 (UTC)#!(:.

Not a dialect. Scots is a language in it's own right as it did not develop out of English, but developed out of the same languages that English did, but with a different mix (Brythonic Celtic and Gaelic). But aside from that cool. 216.154.62.174 (talk) 07:54, 5 Januar 2019 (UTC)
