Template:Lang-sco/doc

Usage
This template is used inline in article prose or in tables and lists to indicate that the text in the first parameter is in the Scots language (also known as Auld Scots Tongue, Broad Scots or Braid Scots, with various dialects). It automatically italicizes the content by default as something other than Modern English.

The 1 part is optional, if the Scots content does not contain the character "=".

For subsequent occurrences in the same page, the link to the language name should be turned off with n or no:

Other dialects, and phases, can be indicated simply by prepending their names, linked or not: Such variants are not independently supported with their own  templates.

For subsequent occurrences in the same passage (e.g., a series of Ulster Scots to Modern English translations) it may be helpful to also abbreviate the dialect name display with, e.g., USc:

Doing so automatically also disables the language name link, as if n had been specified.
