 ==== Speaker numbers ====
+The Northern Ireland Census 2021 registered that, out of the 1,836,619 residents aged 3 and over, 61,032 people (3.32%) can speak Ulster Scots, of which 30,499 people speak Ulster Scots daily (that is, 1.66% of the total population and 49,97% of the Ulster Scots speakers). The highest percentages of Ulster Scots spealers can be found in Mid and East Antrim (7.45%) and Causeway Coast and Glens (7.46%) ((Northern Iraland Statistics and Research Agency (2022). Northern Ireland Census 2021: Ethnicity, identity, language and religion, dataset Frequency of speaking Ulster-Scots MS-B10. [[https://www.nisra.gov.uk/publications/census-2021-main-statistics-language-tables]].))
 There are quite diverse estimates when it comes to determine the amount of speakers. Some estimates place the number of speakers around 33,400 in Northern Ireland((Scots. (n.d.). Retrieved May 1, 2017, from https://www.ethnologue.com/language/sco)), with the Department of Communities providing a very similar number: around 35,000 ((Development and use of Ulster-Scots | Department for Communities. (2015, August 6). Retrieved May 25, 2017, from https://www.communities-ni.gov.uk/articles/development-and-use-ulster-scots)). Other estimates place the number of speakers between 50,000 to 100,000 native speakers((Montgomery, M. (2006). The morphology and syntax of Ulster Scots. English World-Wide, 27(3), 295–329. https://doi.org/10.1075/eww.27.3.05mon)).
