<i>…both use accents on vowels, but only Scots uses grave (left-pointing) accents, like on à in Gàidhlig.</i><p>Just a quick note of caution here: &quot;Scots&quot; and &quot;Scots Gaelic&quot; are two completely different languages, the former being a Germanic language closely related to English and spoken in the Lowlands, and the latter being a Celtic tongue largely confined to the Highlands, the Western Isles, and Nova Scotia. If you can read English you can probably make some vague sense of written Scots, but unless you have training there&#x27;s no way you&#x27;d understand a word of Scottish Gaelic. This article is referring to Gaelic, not Scots.
