The purpose of Fons Scotiae is the publication of Iain W D Forde’s venture to use Scots as if it had continued as the modern national language – ‘guid braid Scots’.
Scots is the language of Lowland Scotland, based on the Anglian tongue brought to the British Isles from northern Europe by the post-Roman immigrants. Scots is also sourced from the countries that are her neighbours – Ireland; the Scandinavian countries; France; the Netherlands and England. Like all languages Scots has dialects which are mutually intelligible.
Scots rose to be the chief language of the Scottish Court; of the Church; of literature; and of the people, in the centuries before the Union of the Crowns in 1603, after which it declined. In speech, song and poetry Scots survives. Formal Scots prose has declined and needs to be restored.
