 Scots Norse has roughly eleven [[w:dialect|dialects]] that form the language's two [[w:dialect continuum|dialect continuums]], these being ''Western'' and ''Eastern'' Scots Norse respectively, these are further divided into specific dialects. All [[w:variety (linguistics)|varieties]] of Scots Norse are written using the [[w:Latin script|Latin script]], employing [[w:Gaelic Type|Gaelic Type]] or [[w:Insular Script|Insular]] as the [[w:script|hand]], this acts as a notable exception to the general notion that Gaelic Type and Insular only survive for ornamental or historical usages, as they are still the primary hand used for Scots Norse.
-Uniting all of these dialects is the [[w:standard language|standard variety]], called ''Agharsc h'u Zorcha'', literally "Sorcha's Scots Norse". This form of the language is the most conservative of them all, being largely based on the 18th century description of Western Scots Norse by Sorcha of Uist. At times, the standard form has had certain shifts undone, such as the /ɛ/-/ɪ/ merger typical of Western dialects.

 Since the early 1990's, Scots Norse has gained a small but dedicated community of linguists that are determined to further document it and make resources more readily available. As of 2018, an online course has been published that goes over Standard Scots Norse, and it has been continually updated since then, improving the quality and extent of the contents, having started out as a rather barebones description of the phonology, orthography, and rudimentary grammar.
+==Development==
+The development of Scots Norse is one of the best understood aspects of the language, owing to its extreme divergence being an interest to linguists.
+===Pre-Scots Norse===
+This is the form of Scots Norse when it was still a dialect of Old Norse
+*lengthening of stressed vowels in open syllables
+*loss of gemination of non-sonorants.
+*final /r̩/ and nominal singular /ɑr, ir/ > /ə/
+*final front vowels > /ʲə/, final back vowels to /ə/
+*hl, hv, hr > l, v, r
+*/ɣ/ > /g/
+*/w/ > /v/, causing /f/ [v] to merge back with [f], thus "arfa" [ɑr.vɑ] > [ɑr.fə] (modern /əɾf/)
+*/θ, ð/ > /t, d/, with a few cases of /θ, ð/ > /f, v/
+*diphthong flattening, /øy, ɒu, ɛi/ > /øː, oː, eː/
+*merger of mid-high and mid-low vowels
+*e > ja occasionally when Proto-Germanic *e (typically becomes ja in Old Norse anyways)
+*/Cj/ > /Cʲ/
+===Sudrey Norse===
+Sudrey Norse, also occasionally called "Middle Scots Norse", is the stage directly before Modern, it is in no way intelligible with the modern language.
+*development of slender/broad/plain distinction
+*front round vowels break to /jV/
+*short vowels > /ɪ, ɛ, ə, ʊ, ɔ/
+*long vowels > /i, e, ɑ, u, o/
+*(Western only) Loss of all gemination, including sonorants.
+*loss of /ə/ between two sonorants (such as /jər/ > /ir/), unless part of an inflectional ending.
+*unstressed vowels to /ə/.
+*/r/ becomes /ɾ/ intervocalically<sup>?</sup>

-# Every vowel can appear nasalized.
+===Prosody===
+Stress has shifted significantly since Old Norse, instead being placed on the first long vowel in a word, if none exist, then it's placed on the first short vowel.
+Loan words typically keep their original stress, with vowels being made "long" as necessary to keep the stress patterning functional, such as in {{l|snon|bambù}} /bəm.ˈbu/ and {{l|snon|halò}} /xə.ˈɫo/.
+==Mutation==
+Scots Norse has developed a system of mutation incredibly similar to that of Irish. These mutations are no longer productive, and have thus been grammaticalized to a point where mutations can be the only distinction between a pair of words, eg. ''è bhèodh'' ("to not comfort") vs. ''è mèodh'' ("one bed"). Thus the mutations are incredibly important to understanding the relationship between words, as well as being important to distinguishing meaning.
-===Prosody===
+Like the Goidelic languages which have influenced Scots Norse, there are two mutations: [[w:lenition|lenition]] (Scots Norse: {{l|snon|miùichin}} /ˈmʲu.çəɲ/) and [[w:eclipsis|eclipsis]] ({{l|snon|sfartin}} /ˈsɸəɾ.təɲ/). Originally these were a series of sandhi effects: lenition being caused by a consonant being intervocalic, and eclipsis caused by a consonant following a nasal (as in "lan", older "land"). Lenition also affects vowel initial words in the form of h-prothesis, though occasionally a "lenited" vowel-initial word will take {{l|snon|dh'}}, a borrowing from Gàidhlig.
-The rules for stress are very slightly more complex than they were in Old Norse, but not by much.
-:Stress always goes on the left-most syllable possible. When there are vowels with a grave, stress goes to the first one, skipping over all vowels without one. (so ''sudhraèir'' is stressed on "aèi")
+===Lenition===
+Lenition as an initial mutation originally stems from the historic allophonic lenition of an intervocalic consonant, both word internally and across word boundaries, i.e if a word ended in a vowel and the next word began with a consonant + a vowel, the consonant lenited. The vowels which originally caused lenition have almost entirely been lost, with the exception of adverbial {{l|snon|-a}}, though the lenition remains as a grammaticalized feature.
+Lenition turned voiced stops and nasals into fricatives, /s/ debuccalized to /h/, /f/ was elided, and /r/ may have been split between fortis and lenis, though this distinction is preserved nowhere. Lenited /t, d/ (/θ, ð/) have since merged with /x, ɣ/.
-===Mutation===
+Word-internal lenition is common, but isn't grammaticalized, unlike word-final lenition which has been grammaticalized through certain inflected forms (eg. {{l|snon|Gud}}, but ''Guedh'' in the dative).
-Since Old Norse, initial [[w:consonant mutation|consonant mutation]] has developed. Scots Norse has three forms:
-:radical (basic)
-:lenition
-:eclipsis
-The following gives each form of {{l|snon|tàl}}:
+===Eclipsis===
-:''tàlir'' /ˈtɑ.ʎəɾʲ/
+Eclipsis arises from a historic cluster of /NC/, including across word boundaries. These clusters would eventually coalesce, with the nasal largely being lost. Eclipsis turned voiced stops into nasals, voiceless stops and voiced fricatives into voiced stops, and voiceless fricatives into voiced. With the loss of the original nasal, eclipsis was grammaticalized, as in ''hi'', coming from older ''hinn''. Eclipsis also affects vowel-initial words, in a very similar way to h-prothesis, as in ''alm'' > ''n'alm''.

 ==Morphology==
 Most parts of speech are split among three "types" or "classes" based on the mutation they cause in the following word, these are called "radical", "lenite", and "eclipse", and they generally don't affect the word itself. Verbs form the primary exception, as they very consistently follow a single pattern, with the dictionary form (the infinitive) always being a lenite.
-===Pronouns===
-{{snon-pronouns}}
-===Nouns===
-Nouns have dropped their definite forms in favor of an independent article, {{l|snon|hi}}.
-Direct plurals of native words are almost always formed with {{l|snon|-ar}} when masculine, or {{l|snon|-ir}} when feminine, though remnants of umlaut also exist. Nouns from Gàidhlig most often instead use {{l|snon|-an}}.
+A set of colors will be applied within the tables here, each color highlighting a specific thing.
+*red: the ending.
+*blue: the mutation.
+*green: the impersonal infix. (for verbs)
+*purple: the mutation within the ending. (for prepositions)
+===Nominals===
+====Nouns====
+Scots Norse nouns decline for three cases (direct, genitive, and dative), two genders (masculine and feminine), and two numbers (singular and plural). The direct comes the merging of the nominative and the accusative, the two having fell together due to sound changes. The definite forms distinctive of the Nordic languages have been dropped in favor of the standalone article {{l|snon|hi}}.
-{{snon-decl-noun-m|v|elph|2o=eolph}}
+Nouns generally follow two patterns, which themselves are incredibly similar, the only true distinction being the direct plural, which is -ar in the masculine and -ir in the feminine. Another distinction is the direct singular, where the coda can appear broad in slender roots, such as {{l|snon|bèodh}}, with a root of ''bèdh-'', though this distinction only really exists for elder speakers.
-{{snon-decl-noun-f|v|alph|2e=aelph}}

-===Adjectives===
+While both ''a'' and ''alm'' appear irregular, they are not so, as the forms are entirely expected. ''a'' comes from older ''ang'', the nasal being lost in the direct singular, but preserved in other forms. The genitive singular taking -z is from eclipsis of the normal -s due to the roots' nasal.
-Adjectives, like nouns, have been heavily reduced, down to the positive, comparative, and superlative forms. The comparative and superlative are formed with {{l|snon|-ir}} and {{l|snon|-ist}} respectively.
-===Numerals===
+The definite forms typically include a vocative, formed with the particle {{l|snon|a}} plus the direct form. These are excluded here as it is not a "true" case.
-{|class="wikitable"
-!1
+Nouns from Scottish and Irish tend to instead take {{l|snon|-an}} for the direct plural, after the regular plural in Scottish.

+Other than the ''-an'' plural, all nouns follow roughly the same pattern, with some variation between depending on the environment. This makes Scots Norse stunningly regular, to a point largely unseen for a Germanic language, especially one that preserves so much of the declension system.
+====Adjectives====
+Adjectives act much like nouns, to the point the two are often used as each other (eg. "sèl" being used as the noun "happiness"). Also like nouns, adjectives dropped the definite (weak) forms, which greatly simplified the adjective declensions.

+====Pronouns====
+The personal pronouns have largely simplified from Old Norse, with case essentially lost in them. The modern plural forms seem to descend from the old dual (as in Icelandic and Faroese), thus only a singular/plural distinction is made. The reflexive pronoun has largely been lost, only preserved in the form of {{l|snon|-sc}}, which is used to form the reflexive voice.
+The suffix forms are largely only used colloquially on verbs for person and number marking (eg. "I speak" is "mèlirg" in colloquial Scots Norse). These suffixes are far more common in Eastern Scots Norse than Western.

 ===Prepositions===
-Scots Norse has a very, very simple system of inflected prepositions, only inflecting for person and number.
+Scots Norse has a system of inflected prepositions incredibly similar to the Gaelic languages, these are required, thus ''**vid hành'' is ungrammatical, instead requiring ''videnh''. Scots Norse is incredibly unusual in that prepositions are split into three classes or patterns based on the interaction between the root and the ending.

 ===Verbs===
-Many significant changes have happened to the verb system since Old Norse, notably both the mood and voice distinctions have been lost. The active indicative has descended into the present and past tense, while the active subjunctive was lost entirely. The mediopassive became the future and imperative (the mood distinction in the mediopassive largely having already collapsed in Old Norse). The reciprocal, original formed through the mediopassive, has entirely been replaced by {{l|snon|hinhar}}. The original imperative is seemingly preserved as the impersonal form (hence the "-sc-"), later having the endings appended to it after they became generally leveled to a single regular pattern.

The reciprocal, originally formed through the mediopassive, has entirely been replaced by {{l|snon|hinhar}}. The impersonal {{l|snon|-t-}} likely descends from a reduced form of Old Norse ''þat'', the development similar to English ''it'' as an impersonal pronoun.
-Verbs have reduced to such a limited number of forms that analogy and sound changes have leveled them all down to essentially one pattern (excluding a few irregular verbs), which seemingly descends from Old Norse's weak class 2 pattern.

 Scots Norse word order is incredibly strict, relying more on particles than word order for changing the sentence type. The typical order is:

-Prepositions are placed largely as in English, but the usage can often differ, eg. "i" ("in") goes before the direct object, but is also used for "under" as in "i miùeghi" ("under construction", literally "in building").
+An example:

 ====Existential ''bì''====
 Likely under the influence of Irish, the verb "bìodh" (Old Norse "bíða") shifted to an existential copula, expressing existence, location, and condition, rather than an impersonal one, while an odd development, the extreme influence of the Gaelic languages does well explain it, in this sense it's most often spelt "bì", with the various endings being appended with an apostrophe, as in "bì'ir" or "bì'adhist", in these forms it is often pronounced /bj-/, thus /bjəjʃt/ for "bì'adhist".
+{{interlinear|lang=snon|number=(5)|abbreviations=DIR:direct case
+|bì'ir Gud
+|EXIST.PRES God.DIR
+|God exists
+}}
+{{interlinear|lang=snon|number=(6)|abbreviations=DIR:direct case
+|bì'ir hìnhar eplar o ghình moerdh
+|EXIST.PRES the.PL.DIR apple.PL.DIR on the.DAT table.DAT
+|the apples are on the table
+}}
+''bì'' has developed in such a way where a noun phrase cannot directly act as the predicate, instead needing to be preceded by ''u'', as in:
 ====Copulative ''vèr''====
 The verb {{l|snon|vèr}} acts as the so-called "equative 'to be'", eg. the verb "to be" as used to mean "X = Y", as in:
-{{interlinear|lang=snon|number=(4)
+{{interlinear|lang=snon|number=(8)
-|er mic sèl
+|vèrir mic sèl
 |COP.PRES 1sg happy
 |I am happy
 }}
+"vèr" in the present tense can often be dropped when paired with an emphatic pronoun, compare '''''vèrir mic hi dèter.''''' vs. '''''mìnhich hi dèter.''''', both meaning "I am the teacher."
-"vèr" in the present tense can often be dropped when paired with an emphatic pronoun (eg. pronoun + {{l|snon|-si}}), compare '''''er mic hi dèter.''''' vs. '''''micsi hi dèter.''''', both meaning "I am the teacher."
 When saying "this/that is", "tèsh" and "ta" are used, with the verb dropped in the present tense.
-(5a) ''tèsh mic u dèter'' "This (is) my teacher"
+:(5a) ''tèsh thèter mì'' "This (is) my teacher"
-(5b) ''ta hi dèter'' "That's the teacher"
+:(5b) ''ta hi dèter'' "That's the teacher"
-"in them" can also be used with an adjective to intensify it.
+"in him/her" can also be used with an adjective to intensify it.
-''''

+|vèrir ha zèol h'ighaz

+===Evidentiality===
+Evidentiality in Scots Norse is entirely analytical, though based on the verb. There are three main classes of evidentials; the factual, the direct, and the indirect. The factual is distinguished from the direct by moreso conveying what is known to be correct than what is witnessed to be correct, eg. "humans need oxygen" vs "the injured dog has healed (and I saw it)", the former being factual while the latter is direct.
+The factual is typically formed through a verbs' indicative, but it can also take the long infinitive of "bì" ("bìthich"; "to exist") for emphasis, such as:
+{{interlinear|lang=snon|number=(11)|abbreviations=DIR:direct case
+|crevhir me màth
+|require.PRES human.DIR.PL food.DIR
+|humans require food
+}}
+{{interlinear|lang=snon|number=(12)|abbreviations=DIR:direct case
+|crevhir bìthich me màth
+|require.PRES EXIST.INF human.DIR.PL food.DIR
+|humans require food (and I ''know'' it)
+}}
+The direct is typically formed with the past infinitive of "sià" ("siàthadh"; "perceived"), thus:
+{{interlinear|lang=snon|number=(13)|abbreviations=DIR:direct case
+|{⟨as⟩ lèocnscir ⟨u⟩} siàthadh hi gù
+|⟨PERF⟩heal.PRES.IMPRS see.PAST.INF the.DIR dog.DIR
+|the dog has healed (and I saw it)
+}}
+The indirect tends to be formed with the past infinitive of "seogh" ("seoghadh"; "told"):
+{{interlinear|lang=snon|number=(14)|abbreviations=DIR:direct case
+|fàradhir seoghadh tèr circh
+|fare.PAST tell.PAST.INF 3pl church.DAT
+|they went to church (so I was told)
+}}
+To better show all three classes, the sentence "he went home" will be used to show each.
+{{interlinear|lang=snon|number=(15a)|abbreviations=DIR:direct case
+|fàradhir (bìthich) ha hèmh
+|fare.PAST (EXIST.INF) 3sg.m home.DAT
+|he went home
+}}
+{{interlinear|lang=snon|number=(15b)|abbreviations=DIR:direct case
+|fàradhir siàthadh ha hèmh
+|fare.PAST perceive.PAST.INF 3sg.m home.DAT
+|(I saw that) he went home
+}}
+{{interlinear|lang=snon|number=(15b)|abbreviations=DIR:direct case
+|fàradhir seoghadh ha hèmh
+|fare.PAST tell.PAST.INF 3sg.m home.DAT
