Although honestly I’m not sure how much of this is Scots and how much is just specific to Scottish twitter lol
So actually having done some more reading this isn’t Scots - I’m fairly sure this is Scottish English which is somewhat a merging of Scots with English.
yea and galician “looks like” a dialect of spanish, norwegian “looks like” a dialect of danish, and afrikaans “looks like” a dialect of dutch. hell, i can say english “looks like” a dialect of ulster scots. “dialect”/“accent” and “language” are meaningless words
that being said the text in this post is scottish english, not scots
Scots isn’t just an accent, it’s a language in its own right.Although honestly I’m not sure how much of this is Scots and how much is just specific to Scottish twitter lolSo actually having done some more reading this isn’t Scots - I’m fairly sure this is Scottish English which is somewhat a merging of Scots with English.

what I was referring to was the wikipedia definition of Scots
Wikipedia does explain that Scots and English are sister languages, they both descend from Old English. Neither is a dialect.
