I'm Scottish but none of my family speak Gaelic...it makes me sad that so few people speak it now. I really hope more people become interested in it so that we can have a revival of the language. I am beginning to learn it; it's hard but I hope to be fluent one day!

@@benjaminclarke7984 And "Scots" is English in origin. Considering Scotland was originally inhabited by Celtic peoples related to the Irish, I'd say it's pretty fucking important to preserve that part of their identity.

I'm Norwegian and a big fan of Icelandic, and I definately didn't expect Scottish Gaelic to sound so familiar to Icelandic! There's something about the tone in which this guy composes his sentences that sounds so much like modern Icelandic. As we know, Icelandic people are genetically a mixture of celtic and germanic, and even though the Icelandic language is pure Germanic, it is still kinda similar to this celtic language when spoken. Absolutely awesome and fascinating! Anyone agree btw?

Do you know about the Kingdom of the Isles? For centuries, the Northern and Western Isles, and a big portion of the Highlands of Scotland, were ruled by Norsemen. They left a lot of placenames from their language (Dingwall from Norse Thingvollr, "Assembly field"; "Durness" from Norse Dyrnes, "Animal headland", and many other names too.) So Gaelic owes a lot of its vocabulary and its accent to the Norse.

Where would I be able to find materials on this dialect to learn it ? I've heard you speak this dialect before in another video and I can't remember what dialect it is but would really like to learn this dialect or Lewis Gàidhlig. I'm used to hearing Gàidhlig speakers say Gàidhlig instead of Gaelic when speaking about the language , just curious if that has something to do with the dialect you speak like with Irish many say Gaeilge but in Ulster Irish many say Gaedhlig.

@@wickedone6476 It depends which language you're speaking. The English word for the language is "Gael-ic" (ie that which pertains to the Gael) while in the language itself, most people will call it "Gàilig" /GAA-Leek/ (usually spelled "Gàidhlig" which if phonetically sounded would actually - rather confusingly - be /GUY-Leek/ but showing the etymology from the root word "Gàidheal" [Gael]). This is precisely the same as calling German "German" in English, but "Deutsch" when you're speaking the language itself. There is a huge amount of unnecessary obfuscation surrounding the names for Scottish Gaelic which are often geopolitically motivated. The truth is there is only Gaelic, whether you're from Ireland, Scotland or Man. The way the language is referred to when people are actually speaking it is a different matter. Now as it happens, the dialect spoken in Central Argyll actually called the language "Gáilig" /GE-Leek/ or "Gáidhlig" /GEY-Leek/ but that's the only exception I've ever come across. To summarise: when speaking English, the language should properly be referred to as "Gael-ic" and when speaking Gaelic, "Gàidhlig". These are two separate words in two separate languages. Hope that's helpful!

since I come from Spain and sadly I have not learnt any celtic language, a translation would be very apreciated

To me, it's just noise, since I can't understand a word of it (minus gaelic, that seemed to be one he kept saying), so it's kinda funny how some of it sounds like German, in just the vowel sounds, I guess. I imagine that if another person repeated what he said, it would sound a little different. Very neat!

There's a lot in common, but the orthography is different. The two language could happily be written using the same orthography, e.g. regularising the way the ends of words are spelt and using both accents etc, but as things stand, it's separate enough that I can't write "Irish" despite speaking a dialect of "Scottish" that's very close to it....

does it seem they say "and" ("agus") because they do or because it is one of the words I understand?

I found out not too long ago that one side of my family came from over there and that was the language that they spoke. I would love to learn it, so can someone please tell me how hard it is? And it almost kind of sounds german-ish

So many Americans have grown up and are now gone without realizing their ancestral language was not English. What a not so surprising shame!

My lord, I'm learning Gaeilge and it's so weird here because it sounds just like Gaeilge and the words are so similar but just a little different.
