How do you say sorry in Scottish?

Answer 1

You would just say sorry There are three main languages spoken in Scotland - English, Scots and Scottish Gaelic. The main variety of English spoken in Scotland is Standard Scottish English which is practically identical, at least in spelling and punctuation to standard English (note standard English is that spoken in England; the American term 'British English' doesn't mean anything to people in the UK and is merely a political tool to give American English equal standing with standard English). Scots is sometimes called Lowland Scots to distinguish it from Scottish Gaelic. It is derived from early northern Middle English. It is not the same as Standard Scottish English which has its roots in modern English. Scottish Gaelic is a Celtic language derived from Old Irish, today spoken mainly in the Highlands and Islands, although until relatively recently, spoken throughout most of Scotland. The name for the language in Scottish Gaelic is Gàidhlig [gahlik] or Gàidhlig na h-Alba [gahlik na hallapa] to distinguish it from Irish Gaelic and Manx Gaelic. The language is not called Scots Gaelic or Gaelic (unqualified). To confuse matters further it was once known as Scottis, and later as Erse. In summary, it does not make sense to ask how to say something in Scottish. You need to specify whether you are referring to English, Scots or Scottish Gaelic.
