Shetland Scots
Shetlandic,〔The use of Shetlandic for the ''language'' occurs in, for example, James John Haldane Burgess (1892) Rasmie's Büddie: poems in the Shetlandic, Alexander Gardner; James Inkster (1922) Mansie's Röd: Sketches in the Shetlandic; T. & J. Manson; Jack Renwick (1963) Rainbow Bridge. (A collection of poems in English & Shetlandic.), Shetland Times; Jack Renwick, Liam O'Neill, Hayddir Johnson (2007) The harp of twilight: an anthology of poems in English and Shetlandic, Unst Writers Group.〕 usually referred to as (''auld'' or ''braid'') ''Shetland''〔(SND: Shetland )〕 by native speakers, and referred to as Modern Shetlandic Scots (MSS) by linguists, is spoken in Shetland, to the north of mainland Scotland and is, like Orcadian, a dialect of Insular Scots. It is derived from the Scots dialects brought to Shetland from the end of the fifteenth century by Lowland Scots, mainly from Fife and Lothian,〔Catford J.C. (1957) Vowel-Systems of Scots Dialects, Transactions of the Philological Society. p.115〕 with a degree of Scandinavian influence from the Norn language, which was spoken on the islands until the late 18th century.〔Price, Glanville (1984) ''The Languages of Britain''. London: Edward Arnold. p.203 ISBN 978-0-7131-6452-7〕
Consequently Shetlandic contains many words of Norn origin. Most of them, if they are not place-names, refer to the seasons, the weather, plants, animals, places, food, materials, tools, colours (especially of sheep or horses), moods and whims or 'unbalanced states of mind'.〔Barnes, Michael (1984) ''Orkney and Shetland Norn.'' Language in the British Isles. Ed. Peter Trudgill. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. p.29〕
Like Doric in North East Scotland, Shetlandic retains a high degree of autonomy due to geography and isolation from southern dialects. It has a large amount of unique vocabulary but as there are no standard criteria for distinguishing languages from dialects, whether or not Shetlandic is a separate language from Scots is much debated.〔.

==Phonology==
"Shetland dialect speakers generally have a rather slow delivery, pitched low and with a somewhat level intonation".〔Graham, John J. 1993. ''The Shetland Dictionary'' 3rd ed. (1st ed. 1979, 2nd ed. 1984). Lerwick: The Shetland Times. xxii〕
