Although only 93,282 of Scotland's 5,062,011 population (1.8%) have any sort of knowledge of Gaelic according to the 2001 Census, there is still strong support amongst supporters of the language to increase recognition and Gaelic-based services in education, broadcasting, the arts and in local and national administration.

Although the country England has the tie to the name of a language - "English" - the English language also evolved in southern Scotland. It is also a Scottish language.

What makes you think that Scottish people don't speak their own language? For that matter, what language are you referring to?

AYE in a way,,,yesss haha,,no really i think english is good n all and we had to learn it to go forward in the world and unite with england but from a scottish point of view i think we would like to have our own identity and speak our own language,,,,, a lot of foreigners probably wouldnt think scottish and english are different but we are, what i mean is we are celtic and english are anglo saxon and we were brought up with different langauges which makes us different,,,,oh but hey a lot of people in north scotland still speak gaelic, thats nice to hear that. i heard that orkney folk think they are different from scottish hahaha.
