“Just as, after reading Heinlein, a door is no longer quite the same thing, so, after reading DEEP WHEEL ORCADIA, a dialect is no longer quite the same thing either… It is not just poetry about a science-fictional subject. It is poetry in which the poetry itself is science fiction.”
–Cat Fitzpatrick reviews DEEP WHEEL ORCADIA for STRANGE HORIZONS

Norse Past, Victorian Present
“Orkneyinga Saga… is at once a historical chronicle and a literary fantasy. It is a Christian book of bloodshed that celebrates saints alongside murderers. Rich in paradox, invention and embellishment Rich in paradox, invention and embellishment”

I sometimes wonder why on #Linux / the #FreeDesktop, champion of underrepresented languages & locales, we still don't have the #ScotsLanguage to facilitate cultural preservation in #Scotland : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scots_language
I for one would love to set it as my display #languages in #GNOME but it is not among the choices.
Aboot that, #Firefox has #Scots available fur ye tae wale, and is the most awesome leid in the settins ye can stert yaisin richt noo! 👌 Ah dinnae find #Shetlandic though.
