Here in America, many people who have Scotch-Irish ancestry, have no idea where their ancestors came from, and the struggles they went through. I had no idea. After doing my own family history, I have found out that my own ancestors were Scotch-Irish. Now, I try to share as much information as I can with my family about our Scotch-Irish ancestry. The Scotch-Irish have done so much for individual liberty for ALL. That is really something to be proud of!

In my early 50s. Just discovering the language - "Scots", that my grandmother spoke to me as a small boy in Canada. My grandmother was from Edinborough. My "uncle' Bill, whom I visited with my father every saturday morning until his death in 1977, was revealed to me as an adult to be my grandfather. Liam "Bill" Shaw was born near Slemish, in 1899. I always remember my being mesmerized listening to him speak with his funny talk, that sounded sort of like English, but definitely something else as well.. His "funny" talk I now realize was Ulster-Scots. So excited about this revelation now in my life. so saddened that this is not something I received earlier to pass on to my children.

So you are American.

For over 300 years Scots language, customs, history and traditions have been systematically suppressed by the ruling English elite. This has been mostly successful in grinding down Scots many of whom know little of their history as it was almost entirely absent from the School curriculum as was the Scots language which was actively discouraged and its use often led to punishment by teachers if spoken in class. It resulted in Scots subconsciously seeing themselves as "less than" and 2nd class citizens in their own land. The idea of "talking slang" or ""talking polite/talking posh" rages to this day with many a Scots mother knocking the edges off their own local dialect rather than embrace it. The rich and the aristocracy sent their weans to English public schools or exclusive Scots versions and returned with a brand new "bools in their mooth" RP English with just a hint of Scots remaining such as "wee dram". As a result of this and the drive by the middle classes to "get on" Scots became the language of the poorer classes and the poorly educated working classes It remained strong in the most rural areas. This concerted effort was successful in subjugating the Scots for the majority of the past 300 years. Scots With the exception of a few Burns texts it had no artistic or cultural merit and certainly no place in the official life of Scots institutions, education or the law. It became a spoken language and not a written one. It is only within the past 30 years that a serious state sponsored effort to restore Scots and Gaelic to their rightful place has been funded and supported . There are still many who resist and look down upon those who promote and speak the language.Luckily there is a rich arts scene which has seen an explosion of works written and performed in Scots- all helping to restore Scots. Personally I cannot wait until we have an Independent Scotland in Europe and we can rebrand Police Scotland as THE POLIS.

Ulster Scots arrived before that, when James I and IV took the English throne, then decided to clear out his troublesome subjects in the Scottish Borders, utilising the former Reiver chiefs, Scott of Buccleuch, and Kerr of Cessford, probably with other lesser Lairds, to round up their former minions, and have them transported to Ulster. Many former Reivers were also conscripted into armies fighting in the Lowland Countries in Europe, and were noted as the finest light horsemen in the armies.

As an American, I love the sound of you folk's language. I just can't understand most of what you say in English, and no part of what you actually say in your own language.

As I said on another site there is no scientific way to distinguish a language from a dialect. A language is a dialect with an army, a navy and an air force. My ex-husband grew up speaking Serbo-Croat in Yugoslavia. Now he calls it Croatian because Croatia is its own country. Gavin Douglas translated classical literature into the Scots of Scotland in about 1500. William Dunbar wrote Chaucerian poetry in Scots in the same time. The Spanish ambassador Pedro de Ayala at that time wrote that it was as much like English as Aragonese was like Castilian. Castilian is now called Spanish and Aragonese is an endangered language. What on earth made anyone think Scots was only a dialect? It was the union with England of course! A long and painful experience has shown men that when people disparage how other people speak, it is based on ignorance. I don't see why Ulster Scots should not be seen as its own language. Afrikaans is seen as a language although Winston Churchill was still calling it Dutch in 'My Early Life'. Cornish and Breton are descended from Old Welsh but are seen as different languages.

Wallace is a surname from the original inhabitants of Strath-clyde Britons. They spoke a Brythonic Celtic language related to cymric or in English-Welsh. There are still many Strath-clyde British surnames in southern Scotland. For example: Wallace, Campbell, Abernathy, Abercrombie, Carmichael etc. Strath-clyde briton got taken over by Gaels from Ulster in around 400 A. D. whose leader was Nial of the 9 hostages. One of Nails hostages was Patrick who later Christianized the wild Gaels. Under Nial ,Strath-clyde became a Gaelic speaking area, but the place-names retained the original p-celtic influence.

As an American, Ulster-Scots and Scots sounds like someone trying to be funny and witty and to mock the Gaelic (particularly Scottish Gaelic) language in English with semi-gibberish lol.

They also considered themselves English/Saxons/Teutonic/Germanic and so on too... but don't let real history get in the way of national revisionism and Celtwashing, lmao. The Gaelic term for the Lowlands is also 'the Place of the Foreigner', and they referred to Lowlanders as 'goill' (foreigners/strangers/aliens), the same term they used for the Norse and Anglo-Saxons (which the Lowlanders were/are). These were totally distinct ethnic groups, in the same way the Walloons and Flemish of Belgium are very distinct ethnic groups sharing a Belgian political identity.

The Ruthwell Cross was made by Angles, not Saxons.

you must learn welsh.

Old Scots is Brythonic and is older than the saxon invasion. You can also say it desends from the same route as Welsh and Cumbric. Old Scots takes this older language and incorporates English, norse, French etc.

Hogwash. it's just another dialect of the Gaelic Language.

SNP wants to be independent of UK; where it has a devolved Parliament, is a noisy neighbour with great influence and enormous sympathy and fraternity.... and yet now wants to remain in a European Union where it will be a minnow, amongst a conglomerate of nations most of whom have nowt in common with them. Literally trading in a slightly banged up old motor for a shiny expensive wheelbarrow with a dodgy wheel being pushed by a dozen infighting blind folk.

Wow, a native German speaking English with a noticeable Scots accent . . . .

Kentucky here. Child me: Daddy, what are we? Dad: Scotch-Irish. Didn't hesitate. We are not that different from each other. My direct ancestors helped settle the state. The families stayed together. Clan habits are alive and well. 🙂

Why do I get angry where The Bruce is esteemed? He abandoned Wallace and killed Comyn all so he could usurp the Scotts throne for his own. Imagine what a United Scotland would look like today if we had a victory at Falkirk or if Comyn Wallace and Bruce had joined their armies.

It's an interesting question! I had to google your comment here to even get a vague idea of what you were talking about. However, I think it's moot. Scotland joined England and Wales in great part because there was a very real desire to stop the border conflicts which had afflicted that part of Britain for hundreds of years. A not often spoke part of the long history between the two nations is that Scottish brigands were involved in an ongoing and unrelenting campaign of harassment that lasted decades against settlements within English Crown land.

could anyone pass on the scots-irish alphabet to me.

ya, it's just English with scots words. same with the language scots. 300 years ago the English were better pronounced, written, and Gaelic was separated. now you can see how they started to merge. Ma vs Mo, is slightly pronounced different, but means the same.
