This is how important languages are for a nation. Languages define us, move us to act. #Scotland leading on language policies.
The Scottish Languages Bill has passed this evening @parliament.scot. The results of the vote at Stage 3 were:

✅ Yes - 112
❎ No - 0
There were no abstentions.

The Bill gives the #Gaelic and #Scots languages official status in Scotland and includes changes to Gaelic and Scots education.
