Western Scots Norse ([[w:endonym|endonym]]: ''{{lang|snon|{{term|Veastèghsc}}}}''; /ˌvɛst.ˈejʃc/) is the dialect continuum used throughout the {{lang|snon|{{term|Veastèghar}}}}, or the Outer Hebrides. It has the heavier influence of the two continuums from [[w:Scots Gaelic|Gàidhlig]], this can be seen largely through vocab. It is one of two main [[w:dialect|dialect]] continuums, the other being [[Eastern Scots Norse]], corresponding to the Inner and Outer Hebrides. Western Scots Norse is further divided into two groups, {{lang|snon|{{term|Noveastèghsc}}}} and {{lang|snon|{{term|Suveastèghsc}}}}, or ''Northwestern'' and ''Southwestern'' respectively. These too are then further divided into the specific dialects. Under Northwestern is {{lang|snon|{{term|Leòdhaesc}}}} and {{lang|snon|{{term|Hearadhsc}}}}, or ''Lewis'' and ''Harris'', while Southwestern is split between {{lang|snon|{{term|Ìvistèghsc}}}} and {{lang|snon|{{term|Barèghsc}}}}, or ''Uist'' and ''Barra''. Within Ìvistèghsc there is also the primary religious dialect, {{lang|snon|{{term|Hèdhnarsc}}}}, spoken by the pagans throughout the Outer Hebrides.
 
Western Scots Norse is one of two main [[w:dialect|dialect]] groups, the other being [[Inner Scots Norse]], corresponding to the Inner and Outer Hebrides. Western Scots Norse is further divided into ''Fadhèghsc'' (Lewis and Harris), ''Ìvistèghsc'' (Uist), and ''Barèghsc'' (Barra). Ìvistèghsc and Barèghsc tend to be more similar than Fadhèghsc, which often leads to them being paired as ''Sudhveastèghsc''.
