This capsule is in the Scots language, which is a Germanic language closely related to English and both make up the Anglic subfamily.

You may have heard about the controversy surrounding the Scots Wikipedia, and I so happen to be the one who came up with the editathon ideas, and have been helping in hosting them bi-monthly since.
The Scots language is a huge passion of mine, and I see it, alongside Gaelic, as Scotland's languages and one we should all be using, and seeing in every day life but we don't, so I do my bit to help increase the presence of the language in every day Scotland. I would personally even like to see it replace English entirely here. It's close enough that the transition wouldn't be very jarring and people might start feeling more at home.
Probably not, but I want to at least try it and let the world know that I did.

I fully support efforts being made to revive Norn and make that be used more. I see it as Scotland's lesser known 3rd language and would love to learn it myself!
Well yes to the second one but I'm not anti-English. On the contrary, I think England can be a nice country in it's own right, and I've met a lot of nice people from there. I'm particularly interested in the dialect groups in England, such as Northumbrian and West Saxon, both of which I see as potentially their own languages.
