How intelligible are Turkish and Azeri? I know they are close enough, but I wonder if it similar to Scottish English vs. American English or farther, more like Spanish vs. Portuguese?

    As the article you just linked to say, “Scottish Standard English is at one end of a bipolar linguistic continuum, with focused broad Scots at the other”. Some people consider Scots to be a dialect of English, others don’t.

    Either way, American English and Scottish English are very much not “the exact same language”
