Maureen Millward - The Languages of Scotland

This workshop will focus on Scots and Scottish Gaelic, two of the three native languages of Scotland, the third being English. Both languages are completely different. Scots is a Germanic language which originated after the arrival of the Angles people from Germany to north-east England in the 7th century. They brought the Old English language to England. In the centuries that followed, Scots developed as a language that was distinct from its sister language in England. From the other side of the country, Scottish Gaelic originated from Irish and is a Celtic language. It was spoken widely in most of Scotland until Scots and English began to grow. Nowadays, there are only 57,000 Gaelic speakers. Both languages were discouraged within the education system until very recently. Now both languages are undergoing a revival. The workshop will tell the story of these languages and teach you some expressions, phrases and grammar.
