Scots Norse ([[w:Autonym|Autonym]]: {{l|snon|Agharsc}} /ˈəːɾsk/) is a West Nordic language spoken in the Hebrides most closely related to [[w:Norn|Norn]], less so to [[w:Icelandic|Icelandic]] and [[w:Faroese|Faroese]], and quite distantly to [[w:Swedish|Swedish]], [[w:Norwegian|Norwegian]], and [[w:Danish|Danish]]. It has extremely significant influence from mainly [[w:Scottish Gaelic|Scots]] and [[w:Irish|Irish]] [[w:Goidelic languages|Gaelic]], and less so from the [[w:Germanic languages|Germanic]] languages [[w:Scots language|Scots]] and [[w:English language|English]].

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. | 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.

==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 | |||
*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/ > /øː, oː/ | |||
*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 become slender back vowels | |||
*short vowels > /ɪ, ɛ, ə, ʊ, ɔ/ | |||
*long vowels > /i, e, ɑ, u, o/ | |||
*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> | |||
===Modern Scots Norse=== | |||
*mutations develop through the loss of word final sounds | |||
**lenition: from being intervocalic | |||
**eclipsis: from nasal clusters | |||
*several palatalized sounds shift: | |||
**/s, z, n, l, k, g, h, ɣ/ > /ʃ, ʒ, ɲ, ʎ, c, ɟ, ç, ʝ/ | |||

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. | 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.

====Nouns==== | ====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}}. | 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}}. | ||
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. | |||

=== | ===Prepositions=== | ||
{| | 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, 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. | |||
| | |||
The reduction of verbs to such a limited number of forms led to analogy that leveled them all down to essentially two patterns (excluding a few irregular verbs), which seemingly descend from Old Norse's weak class 2. | |||

This is a very small class of verbs that take {{l|snon|i-}} to form the negative, this prefix causing eclipsis in the root, thus a verb like ''bì'' will have a negative ''imì'', as seen below. | |||

==Syntax== | |||
===Word order=== | |||
Scots Norse word order is incredibly strict, relying more on particles than word order for changing the sentence type. The typical order is: | |||
#Preverbal particle(s) | |||
#Verb | |||
#Postverbal particle(s) | |||
#Subject | |||
#Preposition(s) (usually) | |||
#Direct object or predicate adjective | |||
#Indirect object | |||
{{interlinear|lang=snon|number=( | An example: | ||
| | {{interlinear|lang=snon|number=(1)|abbreviations=DIR:direct case | ||
| | | èthir mic hi màth. | ||
| | | eat.PRES 1sg the food.DIR | ||
| I eat the food. | |||
}} | }} | ||
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 many other things, such as "under" in "under construction" ("i miùeghi", literally "in building"). | |||
Adjectives and genitives, much like in Gàidhlig, come after the noun, eg. "blòemh ròdh" for "red flower" and "blòemh mì" for "my flower". | |||
{{interlinear|lang=snon|number=( | {{interlinear|lang=snon|number=(2)|abbreviations=DIR:direct case | ||
| | |{⟨i⟩ mlòmhir ⟨u⟩} blòm ròdh mì | ||
| | |⟨CONT⟩bloom.PRES flower.DIR red.DIR 1sg.POSS | ||
| | | | ||
}} | |||
===Questions and answers=== | |||
Scots Norse lacks a true equivalent to "no", the closest thing being "è(gh)" ("not"), which can often be used on it's own when a form of "be" + "not" suffices for an answer, as in: | |||
{{interlinear|lang=snon|number=(3)|abbreviations=DIR:direct case | |||
| vàrt mèlir tic vidmì? | |||
| Q speak.PRES 2sg with.1sg | |||
| Will you speak with me? | |||
}} | }} | ||
{{interlinear|lang=snon|number=( | {{interlinear|lang=snon|number= (3.1)|indent=6 | ||
| | | ègh | ||
| | | NEG | ||
| | | I won't | ||
}} | }} | ||
Following this usage of "ègh", "ghià" (Old Norse "já") is often used as an affirmative, as in: | |||
{{interlinear|lang=snon|number=( | {{interlinear|lang=snon|number=(4)|abbreviations=DIR:direct case | ||
| | | vàrt èthist tic màenh-màls vidmìnhic? | ||
| | | Q eat.FUT 2sg dinner.DIR with.1sg.EMP | ||
| | | Will you eat dinner with me? | ||
}} | }} | ||
{{interlinear|lang=snon|number= (4.1)|indent=6 | |||
| ghià! | |||
{{interlinear|lang=snon|number=( | | AFF | ||
| | | I will! | ||
| | |||
| | |||
}} | }} | ||
As has likely been noticed by now, questions consistently contain "vàrt" at the beginning, this is a general question particle, akin to Gàidhlig "an". | |||
==="To be"=== | |||
====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=( | |||
| | |||
| | |||
| | |||
}} | }} | ||
== | {{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=(8) | |||
|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." | |||
:'' | When saying "this/that is", "tèsh" and "ta" are used, with the verb dropped in the present tense. | ||
:(5a) ''tèsh thèter mì'' "This (is) my teacher" | |||
:(5b) ''ta hi dèter'' "That's the teacher" | |||
"in him/her" can also be used with an adjective to intensify it. | |||
{| | {{interlinear|lang=snon|number=(9) | ||
|vèrir ha zèol h'ighaz | |||
|COP.PRES 3sg.M happy in.3sg.M | |||
|He is happy | |||
| | }} | ||
| vèrir | |||

===Lexical comparison=== | |||
====Leipzig-Jakarta==== | ===Evidentiality=== | ||
{|class="wikitable collapsible collapsed" | 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. | ||
|- | |||
! colspan=9 | Leipzig-Jakarta List | 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 | ||
! Rank | |crevhir me màth | ||
! English | |require.PRES human.DIR.PL food.DIR | ||
! Old Norse | |humans require food | ||
! Scots Norse | }} | ||
! Icelandic | {{interlinear|lang=snon|number=(12)|abbreviations=DIR:direct case | ||
! Swedish | |crevhir bìthich me màth | ||
|- | |require.PRES EXIST.INF human.DIR.PL food.DIR | ||
|1 | |humans require food (and I ''know'' it) | ||
| fire | }} | ||
| eldr | |||
| {{l|snon|eld}} | The direct is typically formed with the past infinitive of "sià" ("siàthadh"; "perceived"), thus: | ||
| eldur | {{interlinear|lang=snon|number=(13)|abbreviations=DIR:direct case | ||
| eld | |{⟨as⟩ lèocnscir ⟨u⟩} siàthadh hi gù | ||
|- | |⟨PERF⟩heal.PRES.IMPRS see.PAST.INF the.DIR dog.DIR | ||
|2 | |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 | |||
}} | |||
