Gaelic
Gaelic refers to a group of Celtic languages native to Scotland and Ireland, specifically Irish Gaelic (Gaeilge) and Scottish Gaelic (GĂ idhlig). Both languages have rich histories and are integral to the cultural identities of their respective regions. Irish Gaelic is primarily spoken in Ireland, while Scottish Gaelic is predominantly found in Scotland, especially in the Highlands and Islands. Despite facing decline in speakers over the years, both languages are experiencing revitalization efforts, with increasing interest in their promotion, education, and cultural heritage. Gaelic also influences music, literature, and place names in these areas.
