  • British (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_English) is not merely a dialect of English. It is its own entirely separate language.


This is definitely, actually true. sillydood; / (https://i.imgur.com/jV8jxX8.png)

-the american, british, and scots languages form a dialect continuüm (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialect_continuum#Anglic_continuum) with three primary nodes (*merican (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_English), brit*sh (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_English), sc@s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scots_language))

-thr british and scots languages are much closer to each other than american is, and both have diverged more from english than american has

-english (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_English), meanwhile, is actually a dead language

TL;DR:

british (of which scots is one dialect) is its own independent language, distinct from american
