Paperback. Condizione: New. The Scots language is the hidden treasure of Scottish culture. For many of us it is still how we speak to each other, how we express our feelings, our humour, even our Scottishness.

Scots was created by millions of voices coming together to share words, phrases and jokes; to understand, act on (and often laugh at) the world around them.Aye, but what exactly is 'Scots' anyway?Usually spoken in a mix with Scottish English, at leastnowadays, is it really a language at all?Was it ever?And what about its future?Dr Clive Young embarks on a quest to learn about the secret life of the language he spoke as a bairn.
