About Old English and Scots/Lallans

Old English (sometimes called Anglo-Saxon) is the earliest attested form of the English language. Old English grammar starts to change around 1100 after the Norman French invasion of 1066 resulting in Middle English. This caused the language to incorporate more French vocabulary and sounds. In addition, the grammar began to evolve to a form closer to Modern English.

Scots/Lallans

The language of Scottish poets like Robert Burns (Auld Lang Syne) is called Scots or Lallans. It is a descendant of Old English and a close relative of Modern English. Scots preserves some archaic features of Old English including some consonants 'ch' /x/ and some pre vowel shift pronunciations.

Note: Modern Scots uses English spelling, but older texts may use Old English letters.
