Do you speak gealic? What is actually the difference between gealic and scottish?

Gaelic is one of a number of Celtic languages still spoken along the Atlantic coast of Europe. These are Gaelic, Irish, Welsh, Breton and Galician. Manx and Cornish died out sometime in the nineteenth century.

Scots (also known as Lallans and-or Doric) is a north branch Teutonic (Germanic)language.

Hey Tuechter,

thanks for explaining it so nicely!

[akascha_2000]

Yeah,

thanks from my side too. :-) well i´ve orderd a little book about scots (scottish). It´s a little deviation from english itself, i think. Like high german and the different dialects in germany eg. Bavarian. It´s cool!

Soon
Nicole

I thought everybody knew..........but obviously not. Mon plaisir.

@Tuechter. Thought Manx is still spoken (not from a lot of people though) and that they have a kind of program to bring it back to the people again. Have read that somewhere.




@Tanni: I'm sorry but I have no idea. Have you asked at FH/University that offer "Keltologie" - maybe they can help you. Or write to Micheal in Bonn if he knows someone in or near Berlin.

Until then you could check out the BBC website.
