desu English is just as native to Scotland as it is to England. The lowlands were part of the Angle Kingdom of Northumbria before the Kingdom of England existed.

Scots is basically meme English.
Actually, according to Wiki, nearly a fifth of Welsh people can speak Welsh. Of course, many of those are probably L2 speakers who butcher the everlasting fuck out of it. But still, the language is far from dead for the time being. Also, an even greater proportion can understand it (33% according to Ethnologue).

have you forgotten all of your knowledge of Cornish by now?
>>67170031
One of the fastest growing languages in Europe. And, as someone who speaks Welsh (L1), the people who learn are taught to a really high standard. Not like Irish in which L2 speakers basically speak Irish words in English word order.
>>67169846
That's not Scots.

can you vocaroo that?

There isn't many of them.
>>67170686
very good to hear
It always makes me very happy to see people care about their language and/or dialect and invest the effort into making it vibrant and giving it the vivacity it deserves. Way too many languages/dialects are dying out nowadays, and way too many people seem to not care in the slightest about their languages becoming obsolete, it's a tragedy as far as I'm concerned.

You're implying I had a worthwhile level of Cornish to begin with, but not really; I still 'speak' with folk over facebook groups or twitter. And there's a couple weekly podcasts.
>>67170708
It might as well be. It's not like anyone officially writes it anymore
>>67170887
Well, I for one was always impressed by your knowledge, everytime someone had a question you seemed to be able to give them answer, which is pretty cool how difficult it is to learn languages which are almost dead.

Just a heritagefag I suppose but do you know if there are any online materials for learning Welsh? Am interested
>>67169381
They're still Celtic culturally
>>67171723
England is a heavy mix of "celtic" and Anglo-Saxon culturally. Sprinkle a bit of Norman and Dane here and there.
>>67171788

I forgot about that whole period...they never gave reparations for that
