Scandinavian influence on Southern Lowland Scotch A contribution to the study of the linguistic relations of English and Scandinavian

"Scandinavian Influence on Southern Lowland Scotch" by George T. Flom is a historical and linguistic investigation that likely came to life in the early 1900s, exploring the footprint of Scandinavian languages on Southern Lowland Scotch, specifically during the period of Viking settlements and beyond; it zeroes in on pinpointing Scandinavian borrowings inside Scottish writings and their convoluted path into the English dialect, further more, the study starts out with Flom's intention to forge a registry of Scandinavian loanwords in ancient Scottish writings, while recognizing work done by others has lightly touched on this language effect, with a focus on the Scottish Text Society along with additional key Scottish literature. Flom highlights the problems in figuring out if certain words are loanwords coming straight from Scandinavian roots or native Scottish ingredients, preparing the readers for a total deep-dive into the lexical interaction of Scandinavian and Lowland Scotch.
