Gaelic or Goidelic derived from the Gallaic language spoken by the Gallaeci tribes in Gallaecia in N.W. Spain. Gallaic is the Q-Celtic language of the Halstatt Celts that settled in Galicia circa 800 B.C. Celtiberian is also a Q-Celtic language of the La Tene Celts that settled in N.E. Spain circa 500 B.C. These La Tene Celts are known as the Celtiberians.
The word for hundred is "cet" in Old Irish or Old Gaelic and the word for hundred is "kiot" in Gallaic.
The ancient Celtic language of Ireland, Scotland, and the Isle of Man before the English came along. The English tried to conquer those lands, also trying to wipe out the languages. Irish Gaelic (Gaeilge) is spoken mainly in areas along the western coast of Ireland. Scottish Gaelic (Gàidhlig) is spoken mostly in the Highlands of Scotland and in the northwestern island off of Scotland's coast. The Isle of Man is currently reviving Manx Gaelic (Gaelg).
We must save Gaelic... "a country without a language is a country without a soul."
Gaelic or Goidelic was introduced by the Gallaeci tribes of Gallaecia (Galicia N.W. Spain) circa 500 B.C. The Gallaeci spoke an archaic Goidelic Q-Celtic tongue known as Gallaic. The Gallaeci were Halstatt Celts that settled in Galicia circa 800 B.C. The Celtiberians spoke Celtiberian Q-Celtic, but not Goidelic. The Celtiberians were La Tene Celts that settled in N.E. Spain circa 500 B.C.
The word for one hundred is "cet" in Old Irish (Old Gaelic) and "ciot" in Gallaic.
A language created by slamming your head against the keyboard and then attempting to pronounce what you just typed.
Example: (Listen to 'Puirt Set' by Skipinnish) Person 1: Hey, so I've decided to learn Gaelic. Person 2: Gaelic? Isn't that synonymous with 'Tounge Fuck'?
The ancient Celtic language of Ireland, Northen Scotland, and the Isle of Man. Irish Gaelic (Gaeilge) is spoken mainly in areas along the western coast of Ireland. Scottish Gaelic (Gàidhlig) is spoken only by 50,000 people almost exclsivly in the Highlands of Scotland and in the northwestern islands off of Scotland's coast. The Isle of Man is currently reviving Manx Gaelic (Gaelg). Many people in the South of Scotland feel that Gaelic is being “forced” upon them. As both television and radio programs are broadcast in the South, despite the fact that Gaelic has never been spoken in these areas. In December 2005 at a "Ask the Directors" meeting held in Glasgow, BBC Scotland was criticised for showing Gaelic language programs in this area, when there are no Gaelic speakers. (with the exception of those who have moved from the North of Scotland) A campaign has recently been launched to reduce the amount of money spent by the BBC on Gaelic programming as it is of interest to such a small amount of the Scottish population. The BBC conceded that Gaelic programming was of little interest to the majority of Scots and reducing the programming dedicated to the language may be reduced in the future.
"Alba" is the Gaelic word for Scotland, but like all Gaelic is very rarely ever used or heard
A language descending from that spoken by the Gauls, an ancient European people who lived in France. Need I say more? France. If you get totalled by a plant pot falling from a great height, chances are you will wake up speaking a gaelic language, because noone in their right mind would want to. In the words of Blackadder (on Welsh, a form of Gaelic), 'Never ask for directions in Wales, Baldrick, you'll be washing phlegm out of your hair for weeks!'. I'm sure lots of Welsh/Irish/Scottish people think Gaelic is the best thing to happen to those countries since Catholicism and Potatoes. In short, an outdated prehistoric language that is entirely inferior to English and all other Latin/Germanic languages. Also Japanese.
Frank: Ill cryy flp*raspberry* ayr *continues with words that are pronounced ENTIRELY different to how they are spelt.* James: What's up with Frank? Bob: Oh he got knocked out and when he woke up he had a fat lip and couldn't say anything apart from this Gaelic stuff.
Typically spoken by, old, nationalists who support SNP. In 2002 Gaelic had a record breaking 13 speakers, but sadly today it has about 6 due to the previous speakers dying of old age. The Gaelic education system has also recently been under inspection due to kidnapping claims that Gaelic teachers have been illegally imported from the outer Hebridies
Typical Gaelic phrase, "a bheil mi thast beó?"
