The language in which Scotland's national poet, Robert Burns, wrote. It can be regarded as a dialect of english, but you'd better have a dictionary to read it if you're not used to it, and it's always fun to see the face of brits from the midlands and areas south when a Glaswegian talks to them in it... pronunciation is a doozy when you're used to basic english.

Very few people still speak Scots and it is unlikely to make a recovery. When the Welsh decided to reinvigorate Welsh in the last century, they had many more Welsh speakers as a base to start with.
