Abstrak

Scotland ’ s indigenous languages were, for very many years, under attack. The Gaelic of the Highlands and Western Isles, arguably one of the earliest written European languages, after Greek and Latin, brie ﬂ y ﬂ ourished around 1000CE as the language of the Scottish Royal Court. Scots, spoken by the mass of the people, was the language of the Makars, renowned medieval poets. Gaelic was effectively ignored but for attempts by the Scottish Society for the Propagation of Christian of all recognition in the space of remarkably few years. Gaelic-medium schools continue to expand, even in the face, sometimes, of dif ﬁ culties in recruiting teachers suf ﬁ ciently ﬂ uent to be able to teach in the language. Scottish literature, including literature actually written in Scots, features prominently in school examination syllabuses.
