Highland English is the variety of Scottish English spoken by many in Gaelic-speaking areas and the Hebrides.[1] It is more strongly influenced by Gaelic than are other forms of Scottish English.[2][3]

- The epenthesis ("helping vowel"), which is used in some consonant combinations in Gaelic and Scots, is sometimes used in the Hebrides and so "film" may be pronounced "fillum".[4]
