History of the Scots language : ウィキペディア英語版 | History of the Scots language
The history of the Scots language refers to how Anglic varieties spoken in parts of Scotland developed into modern Scots. == Origins ==
Speakers of Northumbrian Old English settled in south eastern Scotland in the 7th century, at which time Celtic Brythonic was spoken in the south of Scotland to a little way north of the Firth of Forth and the Firth of Clyde, and Pictish was spoken further north: almost nothing is known today about the Pictish language. At the same time Gaelic speakers began to spread from the Western Coast of Scotland north of the Clyde into the east. Over the next five hundred years with the founding of Scotland and spread of Christianity across the north of Britain by the Columban Church the Gaelic language slowly moved eastwards and southwards across the lowlands. When Northumbrian lands were incorporated into Scotland in the 11th century Gaelic became the prestige language there and had some influence, but the south east remained largely English speaking. In the far north, Viking incursions brought Old Norse speakers into Caithness, Orkney and Shetland. Scholars of the language generally use the following chronology:〔Such chronological terminology is widely used, for example, by ''(Scottish Language Dictionaries Ltd. )'' (Formally SNDA), (Dr. Anne King ) of ''(The University of Edinburgh )'' and by ''(The University of Glasgow )''. It is also used in ''The Oxford Companion to the English Language'' and ''(The Cambridge History of English and American Literature )''. 〕 * (Northumbrian) Old English to 1100 * Pre-literary Scots to 1375 * Early Scots to 1450 * Middle Scots to 1700 * Modern Scots 1700 onwards
