Middle Scots and Middle English were pretty closely related, though. Do I hear Trotsky chime in that they're both just sub-dialects of Northumbrian? ;-)
It does raise the question of how similar different langauges from the same "family" are supposed to be in Glorantha. What degree of relatedness are "1/2 chance", "1/3 chance", "1/5 chance" or "1/10 chance" supposed to equate to in terrestrial terms? Is my 27% English supposed to give me 9% Dutch and Afrikaans, 5% German and 3% in anything even vaguely Indo-European, or what? Since I don't think it'd _quite_ work that way in practice...
Slainte,
Alex.
