Mōtung:Scyttiscgaelisc spræc

LoL ... this is the funniest thing ever! Scyttisce sprǣc for a version of "English" in Old English. Scyttisce meant Irish or Gaelic ... :p

Some confusion...

There seems to be some confusion here - Scots is a Germanic language, Scottish Gaelic is a Celtin one.

No - The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (Laud Chronicle) uses Scyttisc to mean Gaelic.

Remember that we are writing in Old English and at that period there was no Germanic Scots language; what became Scots was Englisc. (Indeed in Scottish documents the Scots language was called "Inglisch"

In the Englisc-speaking period, Scyttisc referred to the Scottas, an Irish tribe. (Scotland means Scotland or Ireland, depending on the period.)

A name for the Scots language we know and love today logically cannot have existed then but "Scotta Englisc" would seem to fit best.

I'd say Hogweard hit the nail on the head with this. I'm in agreement. — ᚹᚩᛞᛖᚾᚻᛖᛚᛗ 00:38, 13 Þrimilcemōnaþ 2009 (UTC)
