    Extractions: A merica The Gaelic Society of America Gaelic and ACGA Scottish Gaelic is the language of the Scottish highlands and islands and is one of the few surviving Celtic languages. Once spoken throughout Scotland, it is tenaciously hanging on and even experiencing something of a resurgence. Quite different from the Germanic and Romance languages, Gaelic is at the core of the culture and history of Scotland. Gaelic has existed in the British Isles far longer than English, and is the source of numerous English words. It is closely related to Irish and Manx , and more distantly to Welsh Cornish and Breton . Its use has declined seriously over the past two centuries as severe economic and political dislocations in Scotland have dispersed Gaelic speakers throughout the world. Gaelic-speaking communities are now found in the Highlands, the Hebrides, cities such as Glasgow and Edinburgh, and in scattered emigrant communities in Canada, especially Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. But interest in Gaelic and the culture it helps define are growing, both in Scotland and abroad. An Comunn Gàidhealach America (The Gaelic Society of America) strives to promote and preserve the Gaelic language and culture by supporting Gaelic language study and interest in Gaelic literature, song, music, art and history in North America and the world.

    Extractions: I. The Early Gaelic Language (from Learning Irish, by Mícheál O Siadhail, Yale Univ. Press, 1988) Irish is one of the many languages spoken across Europe and as far east as India, that trace their descent from Indo-European, a hypothetical ancestor-language thought to have been spoken more than 4,500 years ago. Irish belongs to the Celtic branch of the Indo-European family. It and three other members of this branch Scottish Gaelic, Welsh, and Breton are today alive as community languages. The form of Celtic that was to become Irish was brought to Ireland by the invading Gaels about 300 B.C., according to some scholars. Later it spread to Scotland and the Isle of Man. Scottish Gelic and Manx gradually separated from Irish (and, more slowly, from each other), and they can be thought of as distinct languages from the seventeenth century onwards. The term "Gaelic" may be used to denote all three. It appears that the early Irish learned the art of writing at the time of their conversion to Christianity, in the fifth century. After that, the language can be seen to go through four stages of continuous historical development, as far as its written form is concerned: Old Irish (approximately A.D. 600-900), Middle Irish (c. 900-1200), Early Modern Irish (c. 1200-1650), and Modern Irish. Throughout this development Irish borrowed words from other languages it came into contact with, pre-eminently from Latin, from Norse, from Anglo-Norman (a dialect of French), and from English. From the earliest times, Irish has been cultivated for literature and learning. It in fact possesses one of the oldest literatures in Europe.

    Extractions: Draft Edition by Sharon L. Krossa Last updated 27 Jul 2004 This article is a revision of a posting on the subject Consonant Groups that I made to the Gaidhlig-B mailing list on 4 Dec 1996. I've added more English-based explanations of the sounds for the benefit of those unfamiliar with technical phonetic descriptions. Although it is addressing the pronunciation of consonants in modern Scottish Gaelic, it can also reasonably be used as an approximation of the pronunciation of consonants in late medieval/early modern Gaelic in Scotland and Ireland. Many English speakers have the impression that Gaelic spelling is particularly difficult, unpredictable, even random, but this is mainly because they are trying to interpret it based on their knowledge of English and other languages that they know. And from that perspective it really doesn't make any sense because many Gaelic spelling and pronunciation rules are very different from English or any other language they're uniquely Gaelic. But once you learn Gaelic spelling and pronunciation rules, you'll discover that the relationship between spelling and pronunciation is actually much more regular and predictable in Gaelic than in English. So, here is my little dissertation on modern Scottish Gaelic phonemes, and their relation to Gaelic spelling. Some of it looks scary and technical to people who aren't used to formal phonetics, but don't worry that you have to understand all the jargon if you want to speak Gaelic I've included more approachable explanations, as well. However, some people may find the technical stuff helpful I know that for me knowing these technicalities has made it a lot easier for me to sound less like a learner (not that I'm totally successful, but still ;-). I'm one of those people for whom it really is easier to be told something is an "aspirated voiceless dental stop" than to be told "it sounds like this [insert demonstration here]". So for people who learn the way I do, I offer this (and people who learn other ways may ignore the jargon!)

    Extractions: A Simple Guide to Constructing 12th Century Scottish Gaelic Names The information in this guide is taken from The Gaelic Notes in the Book of Deer , by Kenneth Jackson. The Book of Deer is a 9th century illuminated manuscript, written in Latin, of the Gospel of St. John and parts of the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. The Book of Deer gets its name from six Gaelic "notes", and a Latin charter of David I, concerning grants of land to the monastery of Deer that were written into various blank spaces of the manuscript circa 1130 to 1150 AD. These notes are the earliest known examples of Gaelic written in Scotland. The Gaelic used in the notes is "Middle Gaelic", also called "Middle Irish", which was the form of Gaelic common to Ireland and parts of Scotland from, roughly, 900 to 1200 A.D. The names included in this guide from the Gaelic notes are those of people who lived in Scotland, primarily in the north east of Scotland, in the 11th and early 12th centuries. This guide will show you how to construct a "typical" Scottish Gaelic name of this period. It gives you common structures and elements, but not an exhaustive list of all the possibilities. It is important to keep in mind, also, that not all 12th century Scots were Gaels, and thus a Scottish Gaelic name would not be appropriate for all Scottish personas/characters of this period. Another issue is that while this guide shows how to construct a "typical" Scottish Gaelic name, it was not actually "typical" in medieval Scotland for documents to be written in Gaelic, and thus while these forms of names probably reflect Scottish Gaelic names as they were spoken and used by Scottish Gaels, they do not reflect how they would have been written in most Scottish documents of the period, which were written in Latin. For a general discussion of Scottish names, including issues of spoken versus written forms, see my article

    Extractions: Michael Newton University of Richmond The Scottish Gaelic learners' movement is a recent development in North America that parallels the mainstream Scottish heritage movement in some ways, but is strongly oppositional to it in others. This essay describes characteristics of this phenomenon by analyzing the range of people involved, their motivations for learning, their goals, the creation of community among learners, the interaction between language learning and discourses of ethnicity, and the interface between Gaelic learners in North America and native Gaelic communities in Scotland and Cape Breton Island. Scottish Gaelic, Celtic, Scottish-Americans, ethnic revival, minority languages, heritage languages. Communities of Scottish Gaelic speakers began settling in North America in the 1730s (Newton 2001a: 67-72), particularly in Georgia, the Cape Fear Valley (of North and South Carolina), and upper New York Province. Large-scale settlement in Canada accelerated after the American Revolution, and continued long after migration to the States declined to the individual level. These early settlements contained a high percentage of Gaelic monoglots, but several factors prevented Gaelic from remaining a community language for more than a generation or two. The first was that even in pre-migration Scotland, Anglophones established English as a high prestige language, the language of church, state, and school, and stigmatized Gaelic. The second was that the implicit aim of institutions in North America was to Anglicize immigrants - the church, for example, offered minimal services for those who would never learn English, but church and school ensured that rising generations would be educated in English rather than Gaelic. Although there is some of evidence of intergenerational transmission of Gaelic in the United States (in a few small and isolated communities with reclusive religious traditions), on the whole Gaelic appears to have given way to English within a generation or two of immigration (see Newton 2001b for evidence in North Carolina).
