Gaelic Language

Gaelic is the Celtic language spoken in Scotland and Cape Breton.  Once the main language of Scotland it is now a minority language in its own homeland.  It is a Goidelic language, in the Celtic branch of the Indo-European language family, native to the Gaels of Scotland. As a Goidelic language, Scottish Gaelic, as well as both Irish and Manx, developed out of Old Irish.
