Not only celtic languages are under pressure. It is a shame how many languages are endangered today.
Teach Scottish Gaelic as compulsory subject in the Highlands, make it to be the language of instruction only on the Western Isles and offer it as option in more schools in the rest of Scotland!
I would like to know how close are the Celtic languages to one another? Are Irish, Manx, Breton, Welsh, Cornish, are Scottish completely seperate languages, or speakers of these dialects understand each other when speaking in their own languages?
@anarmehtievful celtic languages have to branches - gaelic group wchich is irish, scottish, manx and shelta, and brythonic group: welsh, cumbric, cornish and breton. Languages in one of these groups are close to each other but surely they're not dialects of one language. e.g. Irish speaker could understand a lot speaking with a Scottish but far less speaking with someone from Cornwall.
@Inaegram Since the Scotts and Irish speakers understand each others' languages, that means both Irish and Scottish are dialects of each other. I would assume that relations of both languages are like Norwegian and Swedish! Whole Cornish, Breton, and Welsh are dialects of one another as well! I would assume that Welsh and Irish won't understand each other! I came to the conclusion that the Celtic languages are in de jure highly standarized dialects, right?
@anarmehtievful not really. If english is your native language you understand a lot of dutch language as well as the German do. But it doesn't mean both are dialects of the same language. They are related, both have the same origin but aren't dialects. Understanding language, partially whether not, is one thing but speaking is something completly diffrent. Your conclusion isn't right than.

So, to recap for those not from Scotland. 1.4% of Scots speak Gaelic and they all live in the Highlands, in the "Gàidhealtachd" as it were.
You will not ever meet a Gaelic speaking Scot unless you go out of your way to find one in the Highlands and out of the Lowlands where nearly everybody lives.
As for the Gaelic jibbery joo, I'd use google translate to translate it but google translate, like the Scots themselves, doesn't think Gaelic is important enough to register :L
@Tam1297 You aren't even Scottish lul, especially not if you think Scottish Gaelic is spoken by anyone outside of the highlands ;)
Your ignorance of Scottish culture and language is terribly vexing
And I wasn't confusing Irish with Scottish, merely pointing out that in Ireland, as in Scotland the Gaelic speaking regions have a Gaelic term for them. In Scotland's case the "Gàidhealtachd" which is the Highlands where you still might encounter it.
@Tam1297 And fyi the reason the name for the Highlands is in Gaelic is because that's where the Gaelic speakers live. Didn't you bother looking up "Gàidhealtachd", it's the name given to an area where Gaelic is still spoken. The Irish have their own equivalent, called the Gaeltacht.
@Tam1297 I know more than you since you think that the majority of Gaelic speakers live in Glasgow lol. Guss wut? They don't. There's a few students in Glasgow doing halfassed Gaelic courses but the majority live in West Coast you mong, where Gaelic has always been spoken.
@Tam1297 I know more than you matey if you think the majority of Gaelic speakers live in the Central Belt since that's a blatant lie. Get your facts straight before speaking and sounding like an ignorant peasant. A quick google search will confirm that.
Look up the "Gàidhealtachd" and you'll see just quite how right I am and just how wrong you are :)
@Tam1297 Pfft my forebears were highlanders and I'm telling ye that we don't need to speak Gaelic to be "proper" Scots. Gaelic's long since gone tatties o'er the side and it's not coming back. Besides it's always been the Lowlanders that made Scotland truly great, not teuchters from muddy backwaters in the Highlands. William Wallace, Robbie Burns, Robert the Bruce etc, all of Lowland stock who spoke Scots primarily, not Gaelic. It was Lowlanders that popularised everything that you mentioned too
@Tam1297 I've never even met any Scots Gaelic speakers and while Gaelic might once have been spoken by many Scots during the Dark Ages and Scotland's early years it soon fell by the wayside so that by the time of William Wallace and the Scottish Wars of Independence it was no longer a majority language. :/
I wouldn't mind future generations of Scots learning it if I thought it was feasible but nothing can be done to bring Gaelic back to the Scottish majority.
@Tam1297 Scots Gaelic was spoken by the royal courts but the majority of Scots spoke Pictish and British until the spread of the Scots language, which was derivative of Old English Northumbrian.
This explains why there was such a culture divide between the non-Gaelic speaking Lowlands and the Gaelic speaking Highlands and why to this day nobody speaks Gaelic outside of the West Coast and why Gaelic is entirely irrelevant to Scottish culture to this day.
@Tam1297 Actually everything I've said thus far has been quite right :)
Gaelic was only ever spoken in the West Coast and a lot of the highlands, by the Gaels that moved there while in the Lowlands, where the vast majority lived, British and Pictish was spoken before being superceded by Scots and then English which is why to this day no-one in the Lowlands speaks Gaelic natively. Seriously, just look up the history of the Scots language and you will see that I'm right.
@Tam1297 You mustn't be a Scot if you think that Scots Gaelic is spoken by more than a tiny tiny minority of Scots outside of the West Coast. You seem to not know much of history either since Gaelic wasn't ever spoken by a majority of people, it was originally Pictish and British that was spoken before being superceded by Scots then English.
As for the North-East not identifying, that's true enough the Scottish Lowlands were never Gaelic, Glasgow and Edinburgh included.
@Tam1297 Aberdeen lol and we don't have any Gaelic schools up here since the SNP twats were only interested in setting up their Gaelic encouragement gimmick in the Central Belt.
And yeah I'm sure Scots is all very well and good but the expensively educated don't speak it in these parts because it's common and rough.
Since you are studying Gaelic no doubt you would know the few other people in Glasgow that are learning it too, some no doubt emigrated there from the West Coast.
@Tam1297 Scots doesn't really bother me since I'm privately educated and speak properly, but yeah nobody in Glasgow speaks Gaelic natively. Some might study it sure but there's nobody speaks it as their primary language and nobody raises their children to speak it. There's nowhere in Glasgow that you could go and hear Scots conversing in Gaelic.
@Tam1297 Nobody in Glasgow speaks Gaelic natively :/ In fact next to nobody in Scotland speaks Gaelic natively either aside from a handful of peasants on the West coast :(
A shame really since it would be nice if we were all bilingual and could speak Gaelic but there ye go. At least Scots is still spoken by people, though there's no hope for a Gaelic revival.
@rapsedi hello rapsedi, ciamar a tha thu? I started with Beag air Bheag by BBC. good luck and keep up this beautiful language alive :) If you need some information or advices - write to me :)
Hi! I got from the Genetree company in USA some info about my genes. Well, I have germano-celtic genes (8000 years old). It was a surprise, because I live close to Italian and Austrian border in Slovenija. The last known villiage of Kelts with it`s own (secret) tradition is called Dreznica. It is very isolated in the hills, close to the Julian Alps. The men have a special secret tradition of wearing white animal fur and wooden masks - they call themselfs: "laufar". :)
@kiftua interesting. You should talk with them, describe their language, culture, traditions! I would like to visit magic places like that. Maybe some day I'll come to Dreznica :) If you would like to tell me about them - write to me. Slovenija also has got interesting region of Prekmürsko :) Sława!
For me, the Celtic languages are lilting, lyrical, and oh! so beautiful. I am so glad that some schools in Scotland are trying to bring in programs where children will be taught the language of their ancestors.
As an aside, there are areas of Nova Scotia, Canada where Gaidhlig is spoken by quite a number of people. I was told they also have a college where even Scots have enrolled to become more proficient in the old language.
I've just started learning Irish Gaelic. I'd hate to see the language die in my time. I'm going to be teaching my son, Caedmon, how to speak it as well when he gets a bit older. We're still working on English with him now as he's only 18 months old and we live in the states.
Minority language are dying all over the world. To your east in Scandinavia several Saami languages who once was spoken in large parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland and North-West-Russia are now facing imidate extinction. In 1850 the last Kemi Saami speaker died. In 2003 the last Akkala-Saami speaker died and several other saami language speakers are now only counted in the tens and are mostly been spoken by older people.
Irish Gaelic will still be around for at least another 100 years, there's a book "Gaschaint" its useful phrases for parents teaching their kids Irish, theres over 2000 phrases in it
Don't lose your culture. I'm American and I have lost the language, culture, and identity of my heritage. It is not a good feeling to have no foundation.
To be honest, to me a Scotsman that speaks only english is like Polishman that speaks only in german. Ask a Polishman what he thinks about such person which doesn't speak his mother tongue but speaks german and calls himself "Polishman". Historia magistra vitae est. Remember who you are ;)
@Inaegram Is brea liom do físéan mar níor mhaith liom a fheiceáil bás cultúr is teanganna ceilteach. Tá Gaeilge agam agus déan mé iarracht í a úsáid go laethúil! Tá mé bródúil. :) I love your video because I wouldn't like to see Celtic culture and languages die. I speak Irish Gaelic and I'm trying to use it everyday! I'm proud!... Can you speak any Celtic language?
@GaeilgeSpraoi Tapadh leat! I'm learning scottish gaelic and I would like to learn welsh but it's still hard because I haven't got a good handbook and dictionary. There are basic lessons like BBC: Beag Air Bheag for gaelic or Draig ac Eryr for welsh but it isn't enough to me. But I've understood about 70% of your irish gaelic text :) Keep up using Gaeilge!
@Inaegram In Irish that's Go raibh maith agat ;) Yeah I tried Welsh but it's mad! You could always try Irish if you wanted to since you have some Scottish Gaelic, Irish Gaelic is very very similar and more people speak it too! ;)
@Inaegram Welsh, you say? Try saysomethinginwelsh(dot)com - you don't really need dictionaries or grammarbooks there. It's a free autiocourse (well teh introducterycourse is - the intermediate costs very little) - and it's system of learning the language works miracles - you use the language from the very beginning.
@Inaegram But what if your mother tongue is Scots and not Gaelic or English? I only speak English to people who speak to me in English. At home I speak Scots. Gaelic is spoken by people in the Highlands and Islands. Scotland has three languages - I guess you just didn't realise before you opened your ignorant mouth.
2.7 million people in Scotland speak Scots. 58,000 speak Scottish Gaelic - everyone in Scotland speaks English too - including the Gaels.
@MrMoel1 Scots is spoken virtually everywhere in Scotland, in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire it's called Doric and is spoken by a ton of people. Then you've got the Glaswegian and Edinburgh variants of it.
Oh and to everybody else Gaelic is dead and not integral to Scottish culture at all given that nearly all Scots speak Scots.
@TheXand19 The idea that "Scots" is sufficiently different from standard English to call it even a dialect let alone another language is based is more on aspiration than any hard linguistic evidence. I lived in Arbroath for two years and never failed to understand what people were saying, you get the occasional unfamiliar word up there, like gleeting-crying, but can easily work it out from the context.. There's far more regional variance in my language, Welsh,than within English, btw.
@dimgwalltameiben There would ofc be more variance in Welsh than English, primarily because of the efforts of the government for the standardisation of English throughout the United Kingdom esp in regards to the BBC. (Google "received pronunciation" for example) In Aberdeen it's considered too common to speak Scots and reflects badly on your upbringing and intellect although the rougher and poorer types speak Doric. Scots is distinctive though, listen to your average weegie lol. Unintelligible.
@TheXand19 An a Obar Dheathain a tha thu? "A troll for trawlerville"? far fae ya fishin noo loon.....We yer Lachlans a yer Dercks a yer Norm....Hae ye' 'er smelt the tangle o' the Isles....few googlewhacks fae ye..... a' bhalaich.
@Eadailteach Being educated I don't actually speak in Doric though ofc I understand it. How are you right now my boy being a loose translation of "Fite like a noo ma loon."
Though being a true Scot I don't speak Gaelic either and like all real Scots understand it not at all.
@billps34 Oh, come on. Scotsmen came from Ireland in early medieval times, aye? Their original language is celtic language - gaelic language. The Lowland is a partially anglicized part of scottish kintra and Scots leid is nothing but naturally modified english dialect which became another west germanic language whether not (linguists doubt about it).
Any language is worth learning, but the celtic languages are very beautiful. You should be proud, if you speak one of them. Don't forget to teach the tourists;-)
I have just started learning Brezhoneg (Breton). It's not too hard. The next one will probably be Gaidhlig.
It is wonderful to understand some of the lyrics of the most beautiful songs.
Last but not least, the ability to understand all the gaelic written comments here on youtube would be worth the effort ;-)
Wow... I was not expecting to hear Eluveitie when I clicked this. Awesome.
Currently, my goal is to learn at least Irish and Scottish.
Working on Scottish right now, because that's the first book I found, it was more recently lost to my family, and Canada still has people I could talk to.
Once you learn one language in a 'family' the others are easier, so I'd like to learn as many as possible. Maybe even Middle/Old Irish (ancestor to Gaelic languages).
The Celtics were inferior Cowards , we Germanics/Teutons push you to the west and albion and there were the Angeln (English) a Germanic triebes wich ruled you. we even fight the romans and bring the down fall of the roman empire......... ARGHH YAAAAA WE WERE BABARIANS Peace
@Lagerfeld2008 now you suck :) There is maybe 20% of germanic people today, I mean here Scandinavia. The rest is germanized Celts, Slavonics and Romanians. :) So... you wanted too many land for yourselves :) Egoistic, arogant tribes are lost :P No offence, that's the truth. And today muslims, arabic, turkish and whole the rest imigrate to your countries.
@Lagerfeld2008 I'm Germanic, too, and I love my heritage, but if you want to appreciate your own heritage, as it comes under attack in today's globalizing world, you must encourage other people to take pride in their heritage as well.
Scots Gaelic should be taught all over Scotland (except for the regions with Norse or Saxon heritage), Irish should be the language of Ireland, etc. Like he said, we are no longer fighting other tribes, but the disintegration of whatever native culture we have!
@jesqor1 You know, I would love to respond to your comment, but I can't understand a word. Do you speak English? If so, there's this this that we use, called the 'complete sentence.' You might want to try it sometime.
Please, enough with the sad theatrics. Look, this Lagerfield2008 character may be misguided in some of the things he says, but it's no reason to start a fight on an internet forum. You are making your own people look like idiots by being an idiot yourself.
Maybe I'm dying, maybe I'm fucked up in the head from the system, and without the what if, how do we solve problems? And enough with the sad theatrics? insinuate's I just pulled some angery thoughts from nowhere, they didn't come from nowhere, Germanics live on land that they killed people to occupy, Like various parts of the british isle's. I don't really give a shit, and I am just an American with a lot of Celtic blood, and brain damage, so just discriminate fucker
@jesqor1 You still are not speaking coherent English. This is the problem.
If you look at the actual research and not what you've been told by post-colonial guilt, you'll see that while there were many wars between the Celtic peoples and the Germanic Tribes, the "invasion" "occupation" rhetoric has long been dismissed as factually incorrect. The Germanic Tribes did not come rambling onto the Isles to rape and pillage the Celtic people and take their land. Sorry to burst your ideological bubble.
@masterfeatherpen, I have done a lot of research, and usually what your told dosen't much differ. I didn't even have a problem with what you said, just the lagerfeld2008 guy's statement, "Celtics are inferior cowards", that's bullshit; and anyone that believes that is going to find problems in their life. I think I read what you posted incorrectly. No I don't have a high education. My school is the school of Hard Knocks, beyond, and Actuallity; I remember it! Not that you would know now.
There arn't any people in Scotland that are of norse heritage. maybe someone has like 1% norse blood but there arn't any norse people living in Scotland.
@3101jimbo Don't spend another minute contemplating it jimbo, it starts with you right now at the moment you read this. I admit I sound a little Evangelical.
Go to the library and get a teach yourself book, there are many available, a little hint is: you might not like the first one you pick up. Keep going till you get your groove on, you will be better off for it.
Wouldn't it be great to hear the Supper Furry Animals in Cymraig?
@3101jimbo I think you should, its a journey as well as a process. Perhaps a little like training in Martial arts. You'll do well to have an inspiration, and that's personal and entirely up to you. What I mean is, gain a passion. William Wallace, Owain Glyndwr, Y Ddraig Goch, Bruce Lee, or even a family member. My mother is from Scotland, and although I am an American, I cannot forget the bond I have through this connection. Preserve that which makes you unique, and no one can touch you.
@3101jimbo Speaking in own language isn't just a skill like horse riding or playing tennis. It's part of your identity, soul. To speak in mother tongue is to understand your nation, your country, its history, literature :)
* In 1750, the population of Scotland stood at about 1,265,000, of which 652,000 were Highlanders. Today's population is about 5 million, and that of the Highlands and Islands only 232,000 Est. Gaelic has survived because of its vibrant and intrinsic worth. I am a learner, as a learner I've discovered a fascinating means of not only communicating to other people, but a whole new perspective of seeing things. Example: muc mhara= sea pig/Whale.
It's a missconception that Scotland spoke Gaelic and then had English forced on them. Lowland Scots spoke a Brythonic langauge (Similar to Welsh) then evolved a langauge with the Saxons in the east that would become Scots. Most Scots still use a high degree of Scots words which are sometimes mistaken for slang or accent. We must be the only people in the world that speak a different dialect from the one we have been taught to read and write in.
@Cybopath Among those of the present Gaelic language revival myself included, you wont find many that claim that all regions were Gaelic speaking, and you are most certainly correct with regard to Cwmbraic and ( I might add the elusive Pictish to that effect). Scots is a great treasure to Scottish culture and is brilliantly rendered by Robbie Burns. The great problem with Gaelic lies in the official & semi official neglect it has suffered as well as displacement* see above.
There is a notion that this is the case by some Scots and non-scots. e.g this video showed Wallace etc who where Lowlanders. I do believe that Gàidhlig is like Latin and should be preserved as a key part of our culture. It gives us an understanding of who and what we are/where. I know my name means son of the Bard in Gaelic. I don't know why Lothian council refused to put Gàidhlig writting on our street signs I think it would send a clear sign of individuality to visitors.
@Cybopath Sir. William Wallace of Elerslie by some accounts spoke Gaelic, as well as his first language English (scots- dialect), French (diplomacy) and Latin (Church language). He was a very educated man indeed, who had more credibility with the commoners that the greedy grasping aristocracy (save King Robert de Brus).
I think it would be a pity if Gaelic were to become like Latin, relegated to academic study and Roman church heirarchy. Cum Gaidhlig beo. Keep Gaelic alive!
Your thinking of how Latin is treated here and not in the place of it's origons, you'll find alot more latin speakers in Italy. Also if you refer to Scots as an English Dialect then you must refer to Gaelic as an Irish Dialect as they have the same connection. Bruce is interesting as he also spoke Gaelic as a second language however I don't think The Black Douglas did.
Point I'm making is that many people forget that lowlanders spoke Scots for almost a thousand years and that we shouldn't be ashamed of it or allow others to tell us it's accent or slang. (What we speak now is a Dialect Scots-English). I think both our languages (Scots & Gàidhlig) should be tought in schools for a little base knowledge of our heritage like they do in Ireland. We also don't learn much about our ancient culture they don't teach us anything about Celtic mythology.
@Cybopath Aye, richt. I meant no disrespect by the word dialect, and accent /slang are often meant dismissively when referring to one's daily language. " Much may be made of a Scotchman if he be caught young" Doctor Johnson. This reveals a very arrogant comfort in the "Standard" Thames river English. What both Scots and Gaelic have in common is that they were (and perhaps still are suppressed) in order to "get on with life".Like it or not English is the language of International commerce.
Scotchman? LOL sounds like an American tourist. I just don't get how people will seperate Irish & Scottish Gaelic as two seperate languages yet call Scots a Dialect of English. I don't speak Scots, I can understand it, I speak Scots-English which is a mixture of the two. English is the international language (Which is fine), I'd hate not to be able to understand North America, the rest of Britian & Ireland and Australasia.
@Cybopath But we still have to fight (something any Scot never shrinks from doing) to secure a future for our hereditary tongues. Yes education, yes persistence, pride, and understanding. But most of all You.. Next time a telemarketer calls to ask you to purchase a good or service, ask if you could speak with someone who speaks (? ). That's how the Welsh activists do it. I live in South Florida where Spanish is often heard, and wouldn't you know companies hire Bi-lingual personnel. Fight!
this video is so true, i conpletely agree, tho i think english is a great language to speak :), its a great tool just like speaking chinese is a useful tool because a 3rd of the world speak it, i am a welshman with bits of lowland scottish decent in me, im learning welsh and useing it as ofen as i can, its inportant to keep the dieing spirit of us celts alive!, hopefull your video can get to evryone else out their thanks for posting nice work :) Cymru Am Byth, Alba Gu Brath Erin Go Braith =)

This explains why there was such a culture divide between the non-Gaelic speaking Lowlands and the Gaelic speaking Highlands and why to this day nobody speaks Gaelic outside of the West Coast and why Gaelic is entirely irrelevant to Scottish culture to this day.
TheXand19 11 months ago
@Tam1297 Actually everything I've said thus far has been quite right :)
Gaelic was only ever spoken in the West Coast and a lot of the highlands, by the Gaels that moved there while in the Lowlands, where the vast majority lived, British and Pictish was spoken before being superceded by Scots and then English which is why to this day no-one in the Lowlands speaks Gaelic natively. Seriously, just look up the history of the Scots language and you will see that I'm right.
TheXand19 11 months ago
@Tam1297 You mustn't be a Scot if you think that Scots Gaelic is spoken by more than a tiny tiny minority of Scots outside of the West Coast. You seem to not know much of history either since Gaelic wasn't ever spoken by a majority of people, it was originally Pictish and British that was spoken before being superceded by Scots then English.
As for the North-East not identifying, that's true enough the Scottish Lowlands were never Gaelic, Glasgow and Edinburgh included.
TheXand19 11 months ago
@Tam1297 Aberdeen lol and we don't have any Gaelic schools up here since the SNP twats were only interested in setting up their Gaelic encouragement gimmick in the Central Belt.
And yeah I'm sure Scots is all very well and good but the expensively educated don't speak it in these parts because it's common and rough.
Since you are studying Gaelic no doubt you would know the few other people in Glasgow that are learning it too, some no doubt emigrated there from the West Coast.
TheXand19 11 months ago
@Tam1297 Scots doesn't really bother me since I'm privately educated and speak properly, but yeah nobody in Glasgow speaks Gaelic natively. Some might study it sure but there's nobody speaks it as their primary language and nobody raises their children to speak it. There's nowhere in Glasgow that you could go and hear Scots conversing in Gaelic.
TheXand19 11 months ago
@Tam1297 Nobody in Glasgow speaks Gaelic natively :/ In fact next to nobody in Scotland speaks Gaelic natively either aside from a handful of peasants on the West coast :(
A shame really since it would be nice if we were all bilingual and could speak Gaelic but there ye go. At least Scots is still spoken by people, though there's no hope for a Gaelic revival.

Hi! I got from the Genetree company in USA some info about my genes. Well, I have germano-celtic genes (8000 years old). It was a surprise, because I live close to Italian and Austrian border in Slovenija. The last known villiage of Kelts with it`s own (secret) tradition is called Dreznica. It is very isolated in the hills, close to the Julian Alps. The men have a special secret tradition of wearing white animal fur and wooden masks - they call themselfs: "laufar". :)

For me, the Celtic languages are lilting, lyrical, and oh! so beautiful. I am so glad that some schools in Scotland are trying to bring in programs where children will be taught the language of their ancestors.
As an aside, there are areas of Nova Scotia, Canada where Gaidhlig is spoken by quite a number of people. I was told they also have a college where even Scots have enrolled to become more proficient in the old language.

@MrMoel1 Scots is spoken virtually everywhere in Scotland, in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire it's called Doric and is spoken by a ton of people. Then you've got the Glaswegian and Edinburgh variants of it.
Oh and to everybody else Gaelic is dead and not integral to Scottish culture at all given that nearly all Scots speak Scots.
TheXand19 1 year ago
@TheXand19 The idea that "Scots" is sufficiently different from standard English to call it even a dialect let alone another language is based is more on aspiration than any hard linguistic evidence. I lived in Arbroath for two years and never failed to understand what people were saying, you get the occasional unfamiliar word up there, like gleeting-crying, but can easily work it out from the context.. There's far more regional variance in my language, Welsh,than within English, btw.
dimgwalltameiben 1 year ago
@dimgwalltameiben There would ofc be more variance in Welsh than English, primarily because of the efforts of the government for the standardisation of English throughout the United Kingdom esp in regards to the BBC. (Google "received pronunciation" for example) In Aberdeen it's considered too common to speak Scots and reflects badly on your upbringing and intellect although the rougher and poorer types speak Doric. Scots is distinctive though, listen to your average weegie lol. Unintelligible.

If you look at the actual research and not what you've been told by post-colonial guilt, you'll see that while there were many wars between the Celtic peoples and the Germanic Tribes, the "invasion" "occupation" rhetoric has long been dismissed as factually incorrect. The Germanic Tribes did not come rambling onto the Isles to rape and pillage the Celtic people and take their land. Sorry to burst your ideological bubble.

* In 1750, the population of Scotland stood at about 1,265,000, of which 652,000 were Highlanders. Today's population is about 5 million, and that of the Highlands and Islands only 232,000 Est. Gaelic has survived because of its vibrant and intrinsic worth. I am a learner, as a learner I've discovered a fascinating means of not only communicating to other people, but a whole new perspective of seeing things. Example: muc mhara= sea pig/Whale.
Balgan buachair= manure bubble/Mushroom. Slan.

It's a missconception that Scotland spoke Gaelic and then had English forced on them. Lowland Scots spoke a Brythonic langauge (Similar to Welsh) then evolved a langauge with the Saxons in the east that would become Scots. Most Scots still use a high degree of Scots words which are sometimes mistaken for slang or accent. We must be the only people in the world that speak a different dialect from the one we have been taught to read and write in.

@Cybopath Among those of the present Gaelic language revival myself included, you wont find many that claim that all regions were Gaelic speaking, and you are most certainly correct with regard to Cwmbraic and ( I might add the elusive Pictish to that effect). Scots is a great treasure to Scottish culture and is brilliantly rendered by Robbie Burns. The great problem with Gaelic lies in the official & semi official neglect it has suffered as well as displacement* see above.

There is a notion that this is the case by some Scots and non-scots. e.g this video showed Wallace etc who where Lowlanders. I do believe that Gàidhlig is like Latin and should be preserved as a key part of our culture. It gives us an understanding of who and what we are/where. I know my name means son of the Bard in Gaelic. I don't know why Lothian council refused to put Gàidhlig writting on our street signs I think it would send a clear sign of individuality to visitors.

@Cybopath Sir. William Wallace of Elerslie by some accounts spoke Gaelic, as well as his first language English (scots- dialect), French (diplomacy) and Latin (Church language). He was a very educated man indeed, who had more credibility with the commoners that the greedy grasping aristocracy (save King Robert de Brus).
I think it would be a pity if Gaelic were to become like Latin, relegated to academic study and Roman church heirarchy. Cum Gaidhlig beo. Keep Gaelic alive!

@gerhardherm
Your thinking of how Latin is treated here and not in the place of it's origons, you'll find alot more latin speakers in Italy. Also if you refer to Scots as an English Dialect then you must refer to Gaelic as an Irish Dialect as they have the same connection. Bruce is interesting as he also spoke Gaelic as a second language however I don't think The Black Douglas did.
Cybopath 1 year ago
@gerhardherm
Point I'm making is that many people forget that lowlanders spoke Scots for almost a thousand years and that we shouldn't be ashamed of it or allow others to tell us it's accent or slang. (What we speak now is a Dialect Scots-English). I think both our languages (Scots & Gàidhlig) should be tought in schools for a little base knowledge of our heritage like they do in Ireland. We also don't learn much about our ancient culture they don't teach us anything about Celtic mythology.
Cybopath 1 year ago
@Cybopath Aye, richt. I meant no disrespect by the word dialect, and accent /slang are often meant dismissively when referring to one's daily language. " Much may be made of a Scotchman if he be caught young" Doctor Johnson. This reveals a very arrogant comfort in the "Standard" Thames river English. What both Scots and Gaelic have in common is that they were (and perhaps still are suppressed) in order to "get on with life".Like it or not English is the language of International commerce.
