Orcadian dialect
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Orcadian dialect is a dialect of Insular Scots, itself a dialect of the Scots language. It is derived from Lowland Scots with a degree of influence from the Norn language, which is an extinct North Germanic language. Orcadian is spoken in the Orkney Islands, north of mainland Scotland.
The other Insular Scots dialect is Shetlandic, which shares some features with Orcadian.
