Not basically. They all ARE English
What about when drunk?
Yeh, ever hear a drunk Scottish person? Swear that’s a language all on it’s own.
Scots IS a language of its own
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scots_language
I think they were talking about Scottish English, not Scots.
There's also Scottish Gaelic, which seems to be often confused with Scots and Scottish English.
Then again, I'm not from Scotland and have never been near there, I'm just getting this from Wikipedia and from a few YouTube videos I watched some months/years ago.
Edit: wording
Best conversation I ever had in my life was with a drunk Scotsman. I couldn't understand a single word, but that wasn't necessary.
You're thinking of Scottish
The English are permanently drunk
My wife and I were on a flight once, we had been in Canada on a previous trip where they do French and English for every message.
We were sitting on this plane trying to work out what language the pilot was speaking, when we finally worked it out. No idea what the message was but we're pretty sure it was an Australian captain speaking what they refer to as "English".
Could be worse, you would still be waiting for the pilot to get out of the sheep so you can take off if it was a New Zealander pilot.
Or Scots. "Get off the ship!" (Which means, "stop fucking the sheep".)
But for how much longer
