The term "Scots English" can refer to the variety of English spoken in Scotland or the Scots language itself. For the former, synonyms could include "Scottish English," "Scotch English," and "Highland English." The latter is a distinct language, closely related to English, with its own grammar and vocabulary. Synonyms for "Scots language" include "Scots dialect," "Lallans," and "Lowland Scots." It's important to note the difference between the two: while Scots English is a regional variation of standard English, Scots is a separate language, recognized as such by the Scottish Parliament. Both have rich linguistic and cultural traditions and continue to be used today.
