Why no lallans?

[Lallans]

Lallans is of course one word for the distinctive speech of the Scottish Lowlands and is (more or less) the language Burns wrote in. It's not a Gaelic language per se- although distinctive and unique, it's actually a dialect of what has become standard English- but still Lallans is a very important part of Scottish heritage, and I do believe was (and in a way still is) the language of the Scottish majority. So I'm hanging this thread out there- I personally don't have more to contribute at this time but will be looking around for issues....

EDIT: I neglected to state that Lallans has a lot of undoubted borrowings from Gaelic....
