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".
