The majority of people in Ireland speak Hiberno English, which is close to standard English. They have a native language, Irish Gaelic, which is spoken by a minority due to British rule. Hiberno English has retained some vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation from Irish Gaelic. In Scotland, there are many English dialects including Scottish Standard English, which has a rhotic accent and distinct vowel pronunciation. The native language of Scotland is Scottish Gaelic, spoken by 1.2% of the population.
