A “GROUNDBREAKING” language plan in Shetland should pave the way for Scots to “gain the foothold it deserves”, a linguistics expert has said.
Professor Viveka Velupillai told The National that the language plan for Shaetlan was “an important first step” in getting it and the macro Scots language stronger recognition.
In conjunction with Dr Beth Mouat, Velupillai has succeeded in getting the University of the Highlands and Islands Shetland board to sign up to the Shaetlan Language Plan.
