And that is exactly how it is pronounced in Scots - “aicht” or “echt”. I don’t know where they got “aucht” as the Scots word for 8, I’ve never heard that. There is similar sounding word “ocht” but that means “anything” or “something” - the opposite (unsurprisingly) of “nocht” = “nothing.”

The Scots million has a distinct pronunciation. The first syllable " muill " the vowels are swallowed with the tongue tip pressed to the top of the mouth. The same vowel sound occurs in Gaelic. The name of the island of Mull and the word for mill are pronounced almost the same. The whole word is said " muill - yin " as compared to the English pronunciation of Mil - li - on.

White race sprung from Uralic-Altaic origins. Indo-Europeans were tan skinned immigrants from northern Hindustan toward southern Europe. Later the extensive cultural, militaristic, religious and economic influence of the southern brown skinned Europe's civilizations caused many white Germanic tribes to get assimilated. For example all historical references tell is that the central Asian and Caucusian Uralic-Altaic tribes were white red haired people. Also many researchers have concluded that the Germanic people were originally Uralic speakers and such. Main stream media always try to tell is that the ancient northern European nations were Indo-European speakers but at the same time they say that there are NO evidences about the linguistic traits of those nations!! All they have are these talltales about few similar words which cant afford so much of proof. Similar words exist among all languages. This explains the distinct nature of Germanic languages among other presumed relatives! And also their cultural-genetic similarities with Uralic-Altaic groups and also the paradox of Finnish, Samoid, Hungarian and Estonian to be Uralic languages. How ever both Russian and British have their own vicious ambitions to deny these matters.
