If I speak Swedish in the streets of Oslo, I will make myself
understood but the locals will treat me as a speaker of a foreign
language.  With English (British or American) in the streets of
Glasgow, I'm not a foreign speaker.  Therefore I think Scots would be
analogous to Nynorsk, and Nynorsk now has its own Wikipedia
(nn.wikipedia.org with 151 articles).
