@elearis1 a big speculation is that Gaelic as a language group sprang about when the Roman empire tried to conquer the areas present day Wales, Scotland, and Ireland are in as a means to communicate. Think of it as a military code. This military code grew and grew into a language, then split, and split again into what we have now: Irish Gaelic, Scottish Gaelic, Welsh, and the now dead Nordic Gaelic. This would explain the Latin lettering and some similarities with Latin languages.
@elearis1 well they are both historical celtic languages, so maybe so originally... but they don't come from the same language families, so pretty remote.
@foofoothegreat Na daoine beaga (the little people). It's on BBC ALBA.
