Insular Scots comprises varieties of Lowland Scots generally subdivided into: *Shetlandic *Orcadian Both dialects share much Norn vocabulary, Shetlandic more so, than does any other Scots dialect, perhaps because they both were under strong Scandinavian influence in their recent past.〔McColl Millar. 2007. Northern and Insular Scots. Edinburgh: University Press Ltd. p.5〕 In ancient times, Pictish was spoken in the islands. Then the Vikings invaded and settled, establishing the Norn language there. Although the islands thereafter owed allegiance to Norway, they became involved politically with Scotland. Scotland annexed the islands in 1472; by then, Scots was spoken. It should not be confused with the vernacular of the Islands of the Clyde. ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Insular Scots」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
