Yes, the language is different, but to me it's only in the same sense that the language in Cornwall, Lancashire, even Essex is different. It's all English with regional variations.
It's the same even within Scotland. When my mum moved down from Arbroath, she took about 6 months to figure out what "going for your messages" was. (grocery shopping) And I don't think any of my friends ever figured out that "the switchies" were (a travelling fairground).
