Proud Gaelic speaker 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

It's pronounced Scottish "Gah-lic". "Gay-lic" is Irish

Don't know where you got your info but Scottish Gaelic has been avidly promoted by the Scottish government over the past decade or so. There are Gaelic speaking schools popping up throughout the country and the language is much more visible than it has been for a long time

Scottish Gaelic has just been recognised as a language again! Some parts of Scotland have it taught in schools, so I hope this means we can revive it even more.

scotland is keeping the language alive they have stuff written in gaelic like police cars ambulances fire engines government buildings and so on

I’m welsh and seeing a foreign person speak about our Celtic languages is really nice! Especially welsh as Ireland and Scotland has an abundance of representation in the world

I'm from France and the Breton is starting to be more spoken and learned but it annoy me the government do nothing about that

as a Welsh person, I agree we have a small dose of Irish speakers!

I'm currently learning Welsh, I live in England and think learning languages is rlly important, it keeps cultures alive and helps form connections. I love learning welsh it's so fun, and I'd reccomend it to anyone trying to learn languages

I live in Israel and I have celtic roots and I am very proud of it.

The Scottish Gaelic section is just plane wrong. It doesn't receive a lot of protection from tue UK government because linguistic policy is largely a devolved matter, but the Scottish government is doing arguably more than Ireland is. For example: - the Council of Na h-Eileanan Siar, where there is a Gaelic majority, has made it their primary language and Gaelic medium education is the default there - the Highlands and Argyll and Bute require Gaelic education in schools - Gaelic is an official language in all hut name in Scotland, you can use it in parliament, the law is kept in both English and Gaelic etc - Gaelic schools exist all across the country, and the government funds them generously, including taxi services to schools so that students from further away can attend Gaelic schools - virtually all signage north of the Highland boundary fault is bilingual, and some south of it is also bilingual - there has been a massive reknewed interest in Gaelic in the younger generations. Please remember when doing pieces on the British isles that devolved governments function differently, so even if the UK government isn't implementing protections on Gaelic it doesnt mean the Scottish government isn't.

My grandparents were Irish immigrants from Co. Galway. Irish was their first language and they spoke it exclusively at home. when they moved to the US, they mostly spoke English outside and never taught their children/grandchildren. it was a different time and people were more worried about fitting in back then (also there was a lot of anti-Irish attitude in the US at the time). I always wished they taught the rest of the family, it's such a beautiful language. I'm glad to see schools are actively teaching it though. I've heard a few schools in Boston and NYC are offer classes as well due to their large Irish immigrant communities there.

It's pronounced gah-lick in Scotland

my gran speaks irish and my great aunt which is her sister was separated from her at birth so she is scottish gaelic first language, but my dad's side was born in douglas in isle of man so they speak manx and my mother (gran's child) was born in wales when my gran and grandfather moved here so i speak welsh, and one of my closer friends is from cornwall too, and i do know there's an old man that's breton living down my street too! all everywhere lol

I am from southern Germany and I wish Our ancient Celtic languages to be revived and to coexist with German

Please don't forget breton, there's a lot of speakers and it is an important language in our region, trugarez ha kenavo ar wech all

It's crazy how the Celts were the most spread out across Western Europe before the heavy Romanization and Germanization periods.

I am learning manx. I need to be fluent in scottish gaelic though to learn it.

Almost no one speaks Gaeilge in Éire. But it’s nice that ye mentioned us! Maith an fear! Sláinte 🥃

Welsh is now recognised as a language in the UK too not just Wales. People across the UK are seeing increasing uses of yr iaith through many things. A person who I know who receives universal credit (job seekers allowance) was asked on the phone if they want their text reminders in English or Cymraeg. I think it is great! Dw i'n dod o Lerpwl ond dw i'n byw tua hanner awr i ffwrdd yn y car rŵan. Fy telulu byw yn Cymru felly gallaf siarad ychydig Gymraeg, ond dim llawer. Dw i'n dysgu Cymraeg a dw i eisiau byw yn Gwynedd, Llanberis.

i'm from britanny, have an irish heritage and i'm pretty disappointed i can't speak any of the two languages.

Irishman here. Irish is dying, we all learned it at school but very few people make an attempt to learn it properly. I'm putting in a huge effort to learn it. I am quite good.

I'm learning Welsh. I'm from Southern West Virginia originally but my family history is Welsh.

Been learning Scots Gaelic for a bit now- it’s a beautiful language!

Most Irish people have English as their first language and learn the language to get in touch with our heritage, much like Wales, only we learn it very early on. I've been learning it since I was 4 and I'm 18 now and I'm still not conversational and many Irish people would struggle still in adulthood to speak Irish confidently. It's very much a second language in our brains even though it's our native language. Sadly it has become more of a school subject than a language and I'm sure I'll fall in love with it once I finish my exams. Many pockets of Ireland speak Irish exclusively however. These are small communities. Many Irish speaking schools exists and they churn out many fluent speakers (I've got some mates who are fluent). But it isn't really most people's FIRST language persay

It’s ‘Gah-Lick’ also believe me I’m scottish

Thank you for not incorrectly calling Irish “Gaelic”

RIP Cornish 😔

Gaedhlig na hAlbna (Scottish Gaelic) is pronounced gahlig! Just so you know. Manx and Gaedhlig are both very close to Irish, the local Irish community center does trips to Scotland (Gaedhlig speaking areas) so we can understand each other well enough! Manx speaking is closer to Irish, while the written version is closer to Welsh.

Lets not forget that the English tried to destroy the Welsh language. My grandmother was beaten in school by an English teacher for talking in 'that backwards language.' The language of the original Britons.

Galicia and brittany

Not necessarily a complete language in of itself but Ulster Scots is important to mension, many of our modern slang and phrases as well as ways of speaking in Northern Ireland come from Ulster Scots directly

There is extreme spiritual power in learning your mother tongue. When I started learning Welsh a lot of my anger just went away 🤷🏻‍♂️

From the ashes.........

What about Gallego, traditionally spoken in northwestern Spain?

Is breá liom mo theanga 🇮🇪

Irish has 3% native speakers. 3% of the whole Irish population. Not healthy at all.

Manx and cornich? Never heard of it.

Go hiontach at fad. Is breá liom mo dteanga Féin. Is aobhainn liom Gaeilge ó an bhreatainn beag co maith. Agus an Albain. Tá súil agam gur thosaigh níos mó daoine ag labhairt na Gaeilge agus go dtiocfaidh siad ar ais chuig a bhfréamhacha agus a n-oidhreacht 🇮🇪☘️💪🏻

💯

Interesting

I’m welsh

Scotch Gaelic means "Scottish irish" kind of like everyone saying Espanol instead of Spanish, coming from an Irish speaker here :) and I'm not saying he made a mistake just a fun fact.

That “hi welcome to” really got me 😂

Hi I'm late to the party, but can you explain to me the diffrence between gaelic, Irish, Scottish gaelic and Scotts?

Garlic

Breton is more widely spoken to fluncy level than Irish

Breton

You forgot Basque

Breton has more speaker than irish, so it's much more prosperous. Not even the irishmen speak their ancestor's language, only a few ten thousands...what a shame.😢

I speal scottish gaelic !

The UK tried it's best to destroy Welsh too. My grandmother had scars on her knuckles from where she was hit for speaking Welsh in school

Tá Gàidhlig Gaeilge agus Cymraeg agamsa ❤

What about Cumbric and Galwegian? I feel like they should have been mentioned here.

Let's go on from Ireland

Wrong! Welsh is alive and kicking - a large number of native speakers, and increasing. In north Wales, whole communities speak it at home as well as in the community. It's the language of teaching in schools, and there are TV channels in Welsh. Why don't you look it up?

Briton isn't native, its from the Britanni of Kernow, though the French have mistreated it awfully. Gaulish is the native language, though I think barely spoken outside of academia

Breton is actually in big danger because of French government policy towards it: discrimination in every day life and schooling. No official statute and s.o.. Other celtic countries should join together to begin a protest campaign against French consulates and Embassies in their respective areas. Kenavo.

Celtic languages are the languages of Tolkiens Elves

Didn’t know there was a language called Breton. The only Breton I knew of was from skyrim 💀 lol

Celtic languages

Are the bastketball teams

I find it quite interesting how a matter of factual truth can be so controversial. Both Irish and Scottish are Gaelic languages. That has nothing to do with the Irish term for the Irish language, which likely has the same linguistic root, but is still a different term. Gaelic languages are nothing more than a branch within the Celtic languages. Welsh for example is NOT a Gaelic language. In other words: Irish an Scottish are much more closely related than Scottish and Welsh, for example. In some languages, it's common to refer to Irish as "Gaelic" without the Irish altogether (like "gälisch" in German - most Germans wouldn't even think of a language if you just said "irisch" unless you added the "gälisch"). I know that for some reason this is a highly sensitive issue for the Irish. Anyway, since there are several terms close to each other, it's easy to get confused.

Surely they are English speakers learning it to get in touch with their heritage not “get back in touch”

Welsh is so much more than irish

Welsh is far more alive than irish. This is because of imperial history & irish being more difficult to master.

What language was your final sentence spoken in. It obviously wasn't English because it was totally unintelligible to me.

Cornish ?

Dude your completely wrong . I'm Irish and speak it get your facts straight

I'm cornish

Gallacian?

Galician

Which means hello how are you

Learn your culture, time keep irish.and Scottish alive

WHERES GAULISH

Bore da welsh school i go to

Almost everything that you've said in this video is wrong. Remarkable

No one speaks welsh mate And thats coming from a welshman

Ok i don't care

It’s not keltic it’s seltic the way you say it

There is no such thing as indo - European languages family. This classification is useless and often misleading. Better to identify languages based on their origin and location of current usage.
