'It is my hope that the Scottish Languages Bill will lay the foundation for future Scots speakers to grow up proud of their language' // Emma Grae
However, this could all change as the Scottish Languages Bill makes its way through parliament and potentially rewrites the narrative about Scots by giving the language formal legal protection.
But while an apology would be of some comfort to speakers like myself who receive this abuse on an almost daily basis, the mere discussion of the leid in parliament prompted more of it, proving why the legislation is so overdue. Laura Law, who advocates for the Scots language on Twitter, tells me that this backlash is a reflection of the “deficit in regards to the Scots’ language’s place in legislation and in attitude”.
This included the introduction of a potential elective module for medical students on the leid so that they are better equipped to work with Scots speakers.This came as one critic described any legislation to me as a “waste of tax payers’ time and money”.and everything else that in tatters instead of bletherin p**h aw day.”
Scots children’s author, Susi Briggs, who is advocating for increased funding to teach the leid to bairns, said stressed the value this would have in the education system.She said of her work with children: “You have a lot of Scots-speaking weans gaining validation, self-regard and confidence [from Scots education] and increasing their literary skills.
The Scots Language Centre will be 30 years old this year, and they have worked tirelessly to create resources like the Scots Warks project, which teaches speakers how to write in the language.
