JanetJanet_52square@sunny.gardenNov 2, 2026, 10:12 AM@suearcher @graham_arden I have heard Scots say the same about Gaels - I think it is a fear of a minority language. Particularly weird is the idea that they’re speaking English when there’s no strangers in the pub and switch to Welsh/Garlic. I mean why? It’s like they just haven’t grasped the context of Welsh/Gaelic being someone else’s mother tongue. It’s their first language, the language they dream in, shop in, sing in, and so unsurprisingly speak to their mates in the pub in.

Exactly.
And I bet if those people go abroad, they speak English to each other, even if they speak a bit of the local language.
