Sorry, I can't seem to find anything about Scottish Gaelic, so i'm posting here. What's the difference between Scottish and Irish Gaelic. I'm a little bit Irish and a little bit Scottish and just wanted to know.... so that I can learn. |

Hi, Alina:
There's a Seattle-based Scottish language group called Slighe nan Gaidheal. Their website is www.slighe.com.
All the best,

Just out of curiosity... How close is Scottish Gaelic to Irish Gaelic? |

Scots Gaelic has several differences from Irish, most noteable is the presence of the indefinite article. Pronunciation is different and spelling is quite different. Now, having said that, if one can read Irish one can reasonably make out Scots. It's kind of like Spanish and Portugese...in the spoken language you recognize a few words, in the written you recognize even more, but to be proficient in one in no way implies proficiency in the other.
Le meas,
