Is it Scottish slang? Or the Scots language?

[–] Donut@leminal.space 1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Slang words that are being subtitled wrong because the locale automatically sets to English (international) instead of English (UK) for a lot of players.

It's in the article if you bothered to read it

I'm not sure that's what he meant: are the words Scottish slang, or are they just Scottish words and considered slang by the vile English?

Scots is considered a dialect, no-one calls it slang.

Scots is a completely separate but related language, not a dialect

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 2 points 5 months ago

They are not slang words, they are words from the Scots language.

Slang is a part of language yes

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I wonder how one would go about finding that out? Maybe someone wrote an article somewhere that explains it

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 2 points 5 months ago

What they are calling slang is actually a language.
