So what do you propose, that we rename it to northern England you fucking idiot?

They save face by calling the local variety Scots and claiming it's a different language.

>>517234

Since none speak Scottish, and thus are not of Scottish ethnicity, there's absolutely no reason to call it Scotland

How's that saving any face, if by modern linguists "Scots" is a "dialect" of the english language

Eh Ireland is almost as bad. English is the main there too and Eire is the secondary.

>>517246

Americans don't claim their nationality and the name of their state based on ethnicity or language, but based on citizenship.

Scotland, however, gets it's name from the fact that the scottish people live in it, that have a scottish language. Or calling it England when only arabians with no clue in english live inside it. Or calling it Germany when there's no german speaker to be found in it. It's the same thing.

I don't know where that map is from, but it is largely inaccurate, Old English and Cumbric were far more dominant in the lowlands than the map shops, it seems this map is more based on the control of the territory at the time, rather than the actual language of the region. Considering for most of their history the territories that today make up the Lowlands were controlled by an Anglo-Saxon Kingdom (Northumbria in the east) or were one themselves (Strathclyde in the west)

Even today the majority of Scots are descended from the Anglo-Saxon lowlanders, rather than the Gaelic Highlanders, and by the 1200s the Gaels who's only achievement in Scotland was the formation of the Kingdom had lost all political power with lowland nobility holding the throne.

the Old English and Cumbric in the lowlands was always of a distinct variety, and did for obvious reasons fall in line with the reformed English used in England after the Union of the crowns, yes the language isn't Scottish, but that does not necessarily mean the people who live there aren't.

By the same logic Americans shouldn't call themselves American, because they don't speak American, and aren't the true ethnic Americans.

>>517241
The Lowland Anglo-Saxon Scots always made up an ethnic majority even during the Gealic conquest due to the higher population in the lowlands, and always have been Scots, and now too make up the majority of the population due to Lowland landlords forcefully evicting Highlanders from their land in the 18th and 19th centuries, with more now living abroad than int he United Kingdom

>>517236
No one here claims it's a language other than some very hard independence supporters in the central belt, it's a dialect, that's all, and for most of the country's history that dialect and early variations was the dominant tongue

>>517241

>Claim your state is called America, Because its inhabited by the americans, who speak American

>0% of the population speak american, it doesn't exist as a language

Gee wizz, its almost like we don't name countries after languages. Like how switzerland isn't called "German-French-Italy" or the papal states aren't called "Little Italy"

You are literally retarded, you know that right?

>>517262
But that's not true, Scotland like all parts of the UK and Europe too get their nationality from citizenship


>Or calling it England when only arabians with no clue in english live inside it.

You do know the UK has less non-english speakers than the USA?

>>517262

Mate, nobody in fucking scotland calls it scotland because of the language you fucking drongo

Its called that because its filled with Scots, an ethncity the result of Saxons, irish and norwegians raping the fuck out of picts and churning out a culture of folks who were barbarians up until about 200 years ago by anybodies standards and a bunch of dirty cunts.

There was no such thing as citizenship in the 12th century. In Europe most of the time, states got their names based on the people who live in it. Case in point, Scotland being once majority Scottish took it's name from the fact that people had their own ethnicity and language.

>>517273
Scots are a celtic ethnicity. There is no evidence to assume the Dal Riata took over the picts violently. Infact their cultures merged since it suggests the Picts were celts themselves, and it resulted in the statehood of Scotland, whereas the anglo-saxons made their way into lowland Scotland as an invading conquering force.

>The Lowland Anglo-Saxon Scots always made up an ethnic majority even during the Gealic conquest due to the higher population in the lowlands

"Majority" is a pretty big word for owning a piece of territory in the lowlands from Northumbria. It's only in later centuries that the anglo-saxons took over, making up the majority of the lowlands as you claim.

Until then they were a minority, and certainly in no case considered "Scottish"

>>517248

Yes, but the Gaels were never the majority, the majority of the population always considered of the Picts in the Highlands until the Gaelic conquest, and continually in the south, the Pictish and Anglo-Saxon populations, and together those people made up the Scots.

For the period of history where the Gaelic nobility held onto power until the Lowland Anglo-Saxon nobles rose to powers during the 13th century, there was never no unified national language until the lowland Old English dialects began spreading, which later was standardised into English after the Union of the crowns, Gaelic always was a minority language localised to the lowlands, the Scots are as Celtic as the English

>>517323
>they always spoke Gaelic
>a Dialect of old english was never spoken at all, just english propaganda against the proud celtic people

>>517312
Ignore what? You're comparing apples and oranges.

Fact of the matter is language played in important part of naming your state during medieval times, and in most cases, the tradition helped shaped the modern countries of today. It's only relatively recently that westerners developed the concept of nationality based on citizenship, but it's you who seems to ignore that, not me.

You're really going to have to explain your point to me because if I assume you are OP what you say in the OP is historically incorrect.

For instance you claim the "Scottish language", as if there was ever only one, was swept away by English when infact the language we call Lallans or Scots today is a Germanic language native to Scotland, so you can see why you're not making any sense.

SO can you explain your point please into something coherent that conforms to historical accuracy and isn't confused by modern understandings of ethnicity and the concept of a nation state that isn't being applied retrospectively.

I personally think you confused Scottish Gaelic, known as Gaidhlig, for Scots.

No he hasn't. He's using "Scottish" in it's more original sense to refer to Gaelic, because that's the etymological meaning of Scot.

First off, the distiction between "Scots" and "Scottish gaelic" proper is arbitrary. "Scots" is just english. But i assume this distinction was made just so the english lowlanders could claim their nativity over southern english so they pushed the gaelic speakers aside.

>I personally think you confused Scottish Gaelic, known as Gaidhlig, for Scots.

The distinction is arbitrary. "Scots" is english, Scottish is gaelic.

The etymological meaning is closer to 'Gael' which is often conflated with Irish because Ireland is the Gaelic homeland.

I don't know what you're talking about, you seem to have some weird narrative in your head, but Gaelic languages aren't native to Scotland and were introduced around the same time as the Anglo-Saxon language that became lowland Scottish in what is present day Scotland.

This is basic history you should know if you wish to discuss the subject.

Yes, the fact of calling the english language something different for some political and social legitimate reasons.

And neither is English.

The language that caused, or rather that completed Scotland's nationhood was gaelic, and that's all there is to know.

Refer to:
>>517738

>>517802

Language didn't create or cause the nation of Scotland.

What the fuck are you talking about? Language is important but it is not a prerequisite for a national community

>>517817
>Language didn't create or cause the nation of Scotland.

Neither did english.

In fact the english language was met with hostility from the natives, and each chance a king wanted to introduce it, he and his crew of servants were repeatedly slaughtered. Until the english took hold of Scotland, that is.

>>517802
>Gaelic then, same thing.
If it's the same thing then your argument goes out the window. Gaelic was called Irish "erse" in english originally, later it was just called gaelic. It was not the reason the scots were called scots in english, as nobody called the language scottish.

>The language that caused, or rather that completed Scotland's nationhood was gaelic, and that's all there is to know.
a language didn't cause nationhood you fuckwit a political kingdom did

>>517844
>If it's the same thing then your argument goes out the window.

Not really. It's just colloquially easier to refer to the language of the Scots as Scottish rather than to stop like an aspie every time and point out that scientifically it's called "Gaelic" since that's what the etymology of the word implies

>a language didn't cause nationhood you fuckwit a political kingdom did

It's not "colloquial" at all. Literally nobody, and I mean literally nobody calls it Scottish.

Ever stopped to think why? Because it's the english narrative that language has absolutely nothing to do with being a Scot, and that the english are as equally in right to call themselves "Scottish" because they just live in the land of Scotland, despite the history of Scotland proving otherwise. It's purely an anglo thing to do when you define your nationality based on some unsubstantiated crap like citizenship or civic identity. And it seems they managed to push this perspective down the Scots throats as well. They honestly thing the English have the right to call themselves the way they do, even if they live in THE LAND OF THE CELTIC SCOTS

Christ, it's really not that hard to understand this.

>>517871
>Not really. It's just colloquially easier to refer to the language of the Scots as Scottish rather than to stop like an aspie every time and point out that scientifically it's called "Gaelic" since that's what the etymology of the word implies
No you idiot, the language of the Scottish at the moment include Scots, Gaidhlig and English. In the past it has included Norn and Pictish.

In English, the language you're speaking, Scots refers to the particular English dialect that is spoken there and developed concurrently but independently with English in England.

Calling Gaidhlig Scottish is retarded unless you make the differentiation.

Implying the Scots are native to Scotland.

So when you want to refer to the people who speak gaelic, they just don't get a separate name for their larger cultural group, like the "Scots" do, and you call them what, Scots-gaelic people? Totally makes sense!

Or maybe Albannaich people? But that's just an endonym for the exonym which refers to Scottish people!

No such thing as the Scottish language. There is Gaelic, Scots and English being spoken in Scotland today.

They're called scots because that's what they are.

>>517921
First of, your definition of "Scots" is retarded. They're just english. Plain and simple. The Scots i'm referring to entails to those who speak gaelic, because the etymology implies the people called "Scots" are celtic people. Now do you understand now why your shit definition is wrong or not?

>>517923
Except for the dozens or so european countries that already do. Your definition of nationality is based on the anglo perception of nationality, which is that of claiming nationality based on the place you live in, with language having nothing to do with it.

That's because the Scots are still a province of England. If they were free like Ireland, they'd be calling it Scottish too and there would be no problem in incorporating gaelic to simply mean the day to day language Scottish people do.

The etymology of the word "scot" is unknown. It used to mean Gael, then it meant someone from Scotland. Not that fucking hard to grasp.

Baby's Scottish history 101? Allow me to fucking educate you

Malcolm and, if we believe later hagiography, his wife, introduced the first Benedictine monks to Scotland. However, despite having a royal Anglo-Saxon wife, Malcolm spent more of his reign conducting slave raids against the English, adding to the woes of that people in the aftermath of the Norman Conquest of England and the Harrying of the North, as Marianus Scotus tells us:

>the Scots and French devastated the English; and [the English] were dispersed and died of hunger; and were compelled to eat human flesh: and to this end, to kill men, and to salt and dry them.”[11]

Malcolm's natural successor was his brother, Donalbane (Domhnall Bán Mac Donnchaidh), as Malcolm's sons were young. However, the Norman state to the south sent Malcolm's son Duncan to take the kingship. In the ensuing conflict, the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle tells us that:

>Donnchadh went to Scotland with what aid he could get of the English and French, and deprived his kinsman Domhnall of the Kingdom, and was received as King. But afterwards some of the Scots gathered themselves together, and slew almost all of his followers; and he himself escaped with few. Thereafter they were reconciled on the condition that he should never again introduce English or French into the land”[12]

After David I, and especially in the reign of William I, Scotland's King's became ambivalent about, if not hostile towards, the culture of most of their subjects. As Walter of Coventry tells us:

>The modern kings of Scotia count themselves as Frenchmen, in race, manners, language and culture; they keep only Frenchmen in their household and following, and have reduced the Scots [=Gaels north of the Forth] to utter servitude[15]

And just to top it off because it's clear as day you have no clue of Scottish history, you can google " Highland Clearances "

A minority of the Scottish population, the Forth pretty much on the border between Highlands and Lowlands, with the Lowlands populated by Gaels, Picts, and a the significant Anglo-Saxon population, this group going on to dominante the country and Scottish culture

The Gaels were the majority ONLY in the Highlands, while the Lowlands were populated by the old English/Scots speaking population, the area the Gaels called "a' Ghalldachd/The place of the foreigner"

Infact their cultures merged since it suggests the Picts were celts themselves, and it resulted in the statehood of Scotland, whereas the anglo-saxons made their way into lowland Scotland as an invading conquering force.

The picts came from Scythia, first stopped in Northern Ireland, they were then expelled to Scotland where they were given irish matrineal wifes, the king had to have an Irish wife. That is how it lost it's Pictish identity.

Explain why there language isn't indo-european

>John Rhys, in 1892, proposed that Pictish was a non-Indo-European language. This opinion was based on the apparently unintelligible ogham inscriptions found in historically Pictish areas.[19] A similar position was taken by Heinrich Zimmer, who argued that the Picts' supposedly exotic cultural practices (tattooing and matriliny) were equally non-Indo-European,[20] and a Pre-Indo-European model was maintained by some well into the 20th century.[21]

A modified version of this theory was advanced in an influential 1955 review of Pictish by Kenneth Jackson. Jackson proposed a two-language model: while Pictish was undoubtedly P-Celtic, it may have had a non-Celtic substratum and a second language may have been used for inscriptions.[22] Jackson's hypothesis was framed in the then-current model that a Brittonic elite, identified as the Broch-builders, had migrated from the south of Britain into Pictish territory, dominating a pre-Celtic majority.[23] He used this to reconcile the perceived translational difficulties of Ogham with the overwhelming evidence for a P-Celtic Pictish language. Jackson was content to write off Ogham inscriptions as inherently unintelligible.[24]

Jackson's model became the orthodox position for the latter half of the 20th century. However, it has become progressively undermined by advances in understanding of late Iron Age archaeology, as well as by improved understanding of the enigmatic Ogham inscriptions, a number of which have since been interpreted as Celtic.[25]

Despite this, Eric P. Hamp in his 2012 Indo-European family tree, classified Pictish as a non-Indo-European language.[26]

According to Professor Stephen Oppenheimer, of Oxford University, some 70% of Scottish males and 68% of Englishmen have DNA evidence which shows a common link to ancestors who came to Britain from the Basque country in northern Spain between 7,500 and 15,000 years ago. Based on research into DNA studies across the UK and Ireland over the past 10 years, the professor's theory on British origins challenges mainstream historical views.

Most people in Scotland, Ireland and Wales were assumed to be descended from Celtic farming tribes who migrated here from central Europe up to 6,500 years ago, with the English largely taking their genetic line from the Anglo-Saxon invaders of the Dark Ages who supposedly wiped out the Celts in their areas of England.

That's all part of a "Celtic myth", says the professor, the author of The Origins Of The British: A Genetic Detective Story. "The majority of the gene pool of the British Isles is very ancient and dates to the era after the last great Ice Age. It has nothing to do with Celts or Anglo-Saxons or any of these more recent ethnic labels.

"The Ice Age made Britain a polar desert and there was nobody living here around 13,000 BC until the first settlers came to the British Isles from the Basque country of northern Spain between 15,000 and 7,500 years ago. Something like three-quarters of the ancestors of our modern gene pool arrived then.

>Gaels have never called themselves Scots

They called, and a small minority of them continue to call themselves Albannaich. "Scot" is an exonym for all gaels.

>But that's not what the objective definition means, it means what my arbitrary definition means!

>>518186

"The ancestors of some 88% of the Irish, 81% of the Welsh, 79% of the Cornish, 70% of Scots and 68% of the English arrived here during that period. None of the later immigrations contributed anything more than 5% to the gene pool. So genetically speaking, Scots have more in common with the English than they have differences.

"There is also no evidence of Celtic languages being spoken until much later, so most of these people probably spoke something like Basque, and though it is controversial, there is structural evidence of Basque influence on later Celtic languages and English as well."

Oppenheimer says there is still a significant 30% genetic difference between Scots and the English - "it's that third or so which makes the English different," he added. The genetic changes were largely due to the influx of early Norwegians to the north of Scotland, whereas the east side of England attracted tribes such as the Angles and Saxons from further south."

Leading Scottish historian Professor Tom Devine last night dismissed his theories as "interesting but irrelevant", saying "cultural, political and social differences" were much more significant in the development of the British peoples.

Althea Davies, environmental archaeologist at Stirling University Centre for Environmental History, said: "The last Ice Age glacier didn't melt until 11,000 years ago and the oldest archaeological sites in Scotland date back to about 9,000 years ago, so that fits into his time bracket for the arrival of the first settlers.

"To say that those first people came from just one specific area is very restrictive, however, and a lot of people will be disputing those theories."
Oh wait. I forgot you wikipedia warriors know more than professors. Lol. Anglo delusion trying to revise history.

>>518186
That's all well and good but ogham wasn't developed or introduced to Scotland until well into the 5th century, after Gaelic had been, since they were the ones who had introduced it.

The etymology of Pict literally means Briton and they wouldn't have adopted the Gaelic language so readily without similarities.

Albainneach refers to any Scot regardless of language, and doesn't refer to Gaels in Ireland or Man. It corresponds with the English word Scot meaning someone from Scotland. I speak Irish, I know.

*last ice age

Curious as to what sort of buttblasted cunt makes a thread like this. Did Angus shag your girlfriend mate? Your mum? Perhaps both?

Since its here I'll give it a shot. The Kingdom of Alba (NOT Scotland) was a culturally and linguistically gaelic entity until the Anglo-Saxon province of Lothian from the nascent Kingdom of England was incorporated in the early 11th century. By the reign of David I a century later these Men of Lothian were already regarded as "Scots". These cunts essentially spoke a dialect of Old English which, being spoken within the borders of Alba, avoided the Norman invasion and the subsequent linguistic cucking dished out by the French. Therefore the "Scots" emerged as a distinct entity from their culturally and linguistically cuckolded Anglo-Saxon kin.

Over the next couple of centuries, these Scots grow in power and influence until they essentially overthrow the cultural hegemony of the Gaels, this is where Scotland begins and Alba ends. A duality of power emerges whereby the gaels flock to the banner of the Lords of the Isles in the West and Scots speaking easterners and southerners throw their weight behind the Monarchy (controlled by the Scots). A couple of centuries of bloody fighting later, the Scots win and James VI imposes the Statues of Iona on the Gaelic chieftans in 1609, forcing them to send their sons to the lowlands for a Scots presbyterian education (most gaels are still catholic at this point). The gaels aren't finished yet though and they enjoy a few resurgencies attempting to restore the Scots House of Stuart (ironically enough) to the British throne.

The English have very little to do with the demise of Gaelic. The only mucked in to help the Scots crush the final few rebellions after the Act of Union.

The Scots are not a gaelic people. They are just Anglo-Saxons that weren't cucked by the French.

>>518305
this

>>518187
"Scot" originated as the endonym of the peoples inhabiting the lowlands of northern Britain, to distinguish themselves from the "English" peoples inhabiting Southern Britain, who spoke a similar language but were cucked by the French.

These "Scots" acheived cultural hegemony over the Gaels, with whom they shared a Kingdom. Hence the modern exonym "Scots" to refer the people inhabiting Northern Britain.

We call ourselves Gael or Éireannach, not Scot because Scot hasn't meant Gael in any language since early medieval Latin. In fact we often call Scottish and Manx people Gaels too because it's not dependent on language as a term.

I'm really intrigued by the fact that you can't grasp the concept that a word can take a slight change in semantic meaning after a thousand years and being borrowed into a different language. I'd love to see your take on some other linguistic ideas.

No, i never said nationality is defined solely by language, as it depends on case to case, something which i already said. Read the thread.

>>518757
No, it just means you're not a native Scotsman.

How does a learnt trait like language have any impact on "native" identity?

>>518800
I'm actually a Scot with a pict last name M'naghten who lives in Durness.

>No, it just means you're not a native Scotsman.

great so now you're demanding we all adopt your arbitrary definition of native too?

This is how i feel about Belgium. Theres no Belgium language, they were a roman province. It should be split between Germany, France, and Netherlands with their respective languages.

On the off-chance you're serious and not captain of the ruse cruise

>Inhabitants which also speak gaelic.
no.


>Don't try to twist terms to suit your english narrative.
Except I'm Irish, speak a Gaelic language and actually know what these terms mean.

>In russian language, at least, there are two term-concepts that defy nationality. "Ruskii" which means native russian, and "Rosiyan" which means russian citizen. All Ruskii are Rosiyans, but not all Rosiyans are Ruskii. Tatar russians are defined as Rosiyans, Chechens are Rosiyans, etc.
Rossiyan=UK citizen
Russki=Scot
If you insist on making this inane comparison.

Because in the case of Scotland it's clearly a sign that the name of the State is strongly associated with the ethnicity of the people, and their language. It's like asking why Germany is called Germany, why Poland is called Poland.

For you to fucking ask, that's why. In most of Europe's nation-states, language plays a vital role in the identity and culture of the people. Though i'm not surprised an anglo subhuman like yourself would understand.

yes

>and their language.
No, lol

>In most of Europe's nation-states, language plays a vital role in the identity and culture of the people.
Most but not all, for example, Scotland

>Though i'm not surprised an anglo subhuman like yourself would understand.
I'm 90% sure you're a butthurt Slav after reading your post

Isn't Scots another Anglic tongue, like Yola and English?

Anglo-Saxon pride, worldwide

Your response suggests that simply not learning a language can cancel out every other point raised in the post,using that logic a pacific islander could never leave his island and become Scottish if he learnt Gaelic, which is clearly retarded

>>518852
We're not talking about the Scots language which ironically is more anglo-saxon than modern English. Seriously compare it to olde english.

We are talking about Scottish Gaelic.

>>518822
Your example for the comparison is wrong because it applies to the entire of the UK and not just for Scotland.

>Except i'm irish.
Good for you. Are you scottish? No? Fuck off then.

>>518856
Yes, because that's how the state got it's name from. I'm running in circle here so be so kind as to either read the thread, and if you did, read it again, or just fuck off.

>>518878
>Good for you. Are you scottish?
No because although I speak a Gaelic language, speaking a Gaelic language doesn't make one Scottish, as I've been saying all along.

>>518878
Me Anglo me no reed gud me to busi eeting gaylic babeez me sory radislaw

>>518852
Yes. The Scots are an anglo-saxon culture with gaelic influence. In fact they are more anglo-saxon than the English, seeing as they weren't utterly cucked by the French.

Halt you Anglian beast, I am the Celt, the proud man of the a' Ghalldachd or the territory you call 'the lawlands', you must leave this territory at once you foul being, this is not your territory, but the land of the Gael, you my friend, are no true Scotsman.

Ahahaha all these deluded Huns

The Highland Clearances in the 1700s and Irish immigration in the 1800s far outweighs any Anglo-Saxon contribution
