Ynglis language

Ynglis or Inglis is a name for the Anglian language of the historic Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Northumbria whose territory is divided now between England and Scotland. A remnant of the language survived under the name Inglis in the Lowlands of Scotland until the early 16th century, when it acquired the name Scots. (Until the late 15th century the name Scots - or Scottis - had referred to the Gaelic of Highlanders and Islanders.)
