Scots Gaelic

Scottish Gaelic, or Scots Gaelic, is a Celtic language native to Scotland, sharing roots with Irish and Manx. It has been spoken in parts of the Scottish Highlands and Western Isles for centuries and plays a vital cultural role. The language features unique pronunciation and vocabulary, distinct from English, though they share some similarities. Gaelic is used in traditional music, storytelling, and place names, and efforts are ongoing to preserve and revitalize it. While not widely spoken today, Scottish Gaelic remains an important symbol of Scottish heritage and identity.
