      yea and galician “looks like” a dialect of spanish, norwegian “looks like” a dialect of danish, and afrikaans “looks like” a dialect of dutch. hell, i can say english “looks like” a dialect of ulster scots. “dialect”/“accent” and “language” are meaningless words

      that being said the text in this post is scottish english, not scots

        what I was referring to was the wikipedia definition of Scots

          Wikipedia does explain that Scots and English are sister languages, they both descend from Old English. Neither is a dialect.
