Sprinske Scots is a language very closely related to Scots which spoken in the Sprinske Empire. Not to be confused with the Sprinske language which is a Kolniaric Language, Sprinske Scots is a Germanic language with a few Kolniaric influences. It is somewhat similar to the local dialect of Scots spoken by Glaswegians, but it does have a few differences such as the addition of diacritics and some letters used in Old English. Additionally, Sprinske Scots also includes a very small amount of Sprinske words.
In some ways, Sprinske Scots may be one of the easiest languages for English speakers to learn, as regular Scots is already very easy. Sprinske Scots does not have silent letters, and spellings are consistent with pronunciation. Sprinske Scots can be picked up easily for non-English or Scots speakers and can be used as a stepping stone to learning those languages as the Kolniaric influences bring the language closer to Romance languages than Scots or English because Kolniaric languages are heavily based on Dalmatian, a Romance language formerly spoken in Dalmatia, which is not dissimilar to French or Italian.
