Sianb007 Sian Baldwin? it's on here as it is saved on an on-line archive of many Gaelic cartoons in a site called 'am baile'.

Whats the diffrence between Irish Gaelic and Scots Gaelic?

[densco87]

its a different language. people that can speak Scottish Gaelic can understand a little bit of Irish and visa versa.

[Seachd12]

To suppress all forms of Gaelic language, culture and heritage - see Battle of Culloden and Highland clearances.

Also significantly, Scots have not been taught their own history. Many Scots don't know their Gaelic heritage despite their own surnames. Language is the most powerful identifier of ethnic identity and this is why the British Govedrnment are suppresing it.

I feel very hard done that I haven't a clue about Gaelic nor have I been given the opportunity to be taught it. I live in the lowlands of Scotland and even when I go to visit my Far Northern family, the only ties they have to the language is through their heritage and the fact they are given a short course of it at school. Hardly anyone speaks it cept on the Islands. It is really a pity, I think it unfair we haven't been given the opportunity to learn! The rest have their home tongue why not us?

This language is so beautiful. Love the harsh sounds lol!

[duvexy]

How awesome. It is good for me to have heard this and seen this. I have both Scottish and Irish in me. I had family that lived in Wales and in Britain before they came to America.

lol the only thing i got was is mise a haga or whatever that name was

[crawlingbrain]

@Jeroens01 Well they're 'genetically' related - they're sister languages of Old Irish, a historical language. The Gaels, who immigrated to SW Scotland, eventually conquering/absorbing the Picts, forming the first unified Scotland, the Kingdom of Alba, spoke Irish when they crossed the Celtic Sea.

Continued contact was a force that kept the languages more similar than they would've become from the geographic division. Languages are always changing, and they two languages are still diverging!

@densco87 both peoples are related in history so it wouldnt surprise me. although scots tend to be realted alot to the norwegians too in some areas. but the scoti came from ireland. its pretty cool that both share a similar culture and arent so different. iv always liked highlanders, the highlands and bagpipes. im irish and english.

[shawry86]

this is fucked up.

Ghobhainn is just a smith, so Mac a' Ghobhainn is Smithson/Smith. Ghobhainn is were the area of Govan in Glasgow gets it's name. There are loads of anglicised Gaelic names in Scotland: Dow and Black come from Dubh (Black), Bowie comes from Buidhe (Yellow), bain comes from Ban (white) - those are just colour related. There are looooads more!

[aodh78]

Smith son really that different form just Smith?
