] Date Posted: 17:36:41 01/06/05 Thu In reply to: Andrew 's message, "Dialects" on 17:15:41 01/06/05 Thu We seem to be engaging in operations in semantics now. As you have decided to reclassify dialects as languages, you should have originally stated that there are over ten languages in Scotland, and not merely Lowland Scots and Gaelic. Shetlandic Orcadian Northern Aberdeen/North East (Doric) Mid Northern South Northern Dundee Scots Edinburgh Scots Glasgow 'Patter' Glaswegian Ayrshire Scots Southern Scots ...among many others I'm sure It must be pointed out that many of the groups above do not understand one another’s dialect, sorry, language – obviously due to enormous deficiencies in their schooling, as obviously happened to me.
