Scots

Scotland, a country in the northern part of the United Kingdom, is known for its rugged landscapes, rich history, and vibrant culture. Its capital, Edinburgh, is famous for its festivals, including the iconic Edinburgh Fringe. Scotland boasts picturesque highlands, deep lochs, and a coastline dotted with islands. Scots are known for their contributions to philosophy, literature, and science, with figures such as Alexander Graham Bell and Robert Burns. Traditional music, including bagpipes and folk songs, plays a prominent role in Scottish heritage. The country also has a deep connection to sports, particularly golf and rugby.

Scots

Scots, often referred to as Lallans or Lowland Scots, is a Germanic language spoken in Scotland. It shares roots with English, but its vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar differ significantly, making it a distinct language in its own right. Scots has its own dialects, which vary by region. It should not be confused with Scottish Gaelic, a Celtic language spoken primarily in the Highlands and Islands. While Scots is still widely spoken, particularly in informal settings, Gaelic has a smaller, more concentrated number of speakers in Scotland.

Asterix spieks Scots

Asterix was translated into Scots starting in 2008, providing a unique flavor to the beloved comic series. The translation was made possible by DalenÉireann, which also handles translations of Asterix into Irish, Welsh, and Scottish Gaelic. The Scots translation helps make the stories more accessible to speakers of this historic language.
