Dialect of Insular Scots
Orcadian dialect or Orcadian Scots is a dialect of Insular Scots , itself a dialect of the Scots language . It is derived from Lowland Scots, with a degree of Norwegian influence from the Norn language .[ 1]
Due to the influence of Orkney fur traders working for the Hudson's Bay Company in early Canada,[ 2] a creole language called Bungi developed, with substratal influence from Scottish English , Orcadian Scots, Norn , Scottish Gaelic , French , Cree , and Saulteaux Ojibwe .[ 3] [ 4] [ 5] As of 2013,[update] Bungi is thought to have very few if any speakers and is potentially extinct .[ 6] [ 7]
In 2021, Orcadian poet Harry Josephine Giles released a science fiction verse novel , Deep Wheel Orcadia , in Orcadian Scots with parallel translation into standard English, described by their publisher as a "unique adventure in minority language poetry".[ 8]
