Tay,

Apologizes for being unclear. I understand Scots quite well I think, but
my problem lies in the fact that I don't know how
to say historically that Scots is a separate language. I know that they
are different, but how did these differences
develope? When were they the same language?

Thanks for the response,
Uilleam Stiùbhart
