I watched a program here last night that argued the fact that the Scots language is a language in its own rights and not a dialect. It is always implied that it is a dilect of English the same as the Americans Canadian Aussies Kiwis etc. I believe it is a language in its own right as it has diversity and its own character. How would you discribe it?
