i agree tht scottish gaelic(pronounced galik) is from the irish. i speak scottish gaelic and im proud :)

[SeanOBriain]

Gaeilge is the Irish word for the Irish language. I'm an Irish speaker. We call old & middle-irish "Sean-Ghaeilge". Gaeilge is just an evolved form of Sean-Ghaeilge. I didn't mean that Irish of today was the exact same as Middle-Irish.

[NorthLimitation]

Middle Irish isn't Gaeilge! Gaeilge descends from Middle Irish without a doubt, but Gaeilge is no more middle Irish than English is middle English. Bear in mind that back then Irish was more a sort of pan-Goidelic language spoken in Scotland, Isle of Man and Ireland.

[SeanOBriain]

Yes of course :) Middle Irish is Gaeilge. Sean-Ghaeilge to be precise. But yes, we're really splitting hairs ;)

[NorthLimitation]

Well, Gaidhlig technically comes from middle Irish, which is quite a bit different from Gaeilge - but that really is splitting hairs and you're more or less correct :)

[SeanOBriain]

Gaidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) comes from Gaeilge (Irish), so that is why it sounds similar to it.
