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

Phonology

The epenthesis ("helping vowel"), which is used in some consonant combinations in Scottish Gaelic and Modern Scots, is sometimes used in the Hebrides and so "film" may be pronounced "fillum".Shuken, Cynthia "Highland and Island English", in Trudgill, Peter (1984). Language in the British Isles. Cambridge University Press. p. 152.
