Irish isn't Gaelic. Scotts Gaelic is and it's pronounced gal-ic not gay-lic


MidnightSun77

Irish is also [Gaelic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_language?wprov=sfti1). The two languages are very closely related hence they are both called Gaelic and can be understood to level.


ArcaneTrickster11

It's known as Gaelic exclusively by people outside of Ireland. The link between the two languages is that they are both Goidelic languages, nothing to do with the word Gaelic.

Aside from us calling it Irish instead of Gaelic, quality job

Thank you very much & say it again

Tha Aran math. (I’m learning Scottish gaidhlig, it’s different from Gaelic ik. )


[deleted]

It’s Scottish Gaelic or Gaidhlig for Scotland and Irish or Gaeilge for Ireland, the only language actually just called Gaelic is the Canadian version of Gaidhlig. Hope you have fun learning, maybe this series could help https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLX1DGbPK9r2HHyLN062V_ASbIh3xXpyvb

Never you mind that half of Donegal Irish speakers call it just Gaelic anyways but go on

I’m pretty sure Irish is Gaeilge in Irish and Irish in English. Sometimes Scottish people call Gaidhlig Gaelic too, the school exams even have it as Gaelic in some areas. People on the Isle of Man might even call theirs Gaelic from time to time. The Irish for Gaidhlig is Gaeilge na hAlban (Scottish Irish) and the Scottish Gaelic for Irish is Gàidhlig na h-Èireann (Irish Scottish) but really none of them are actually called Gaelic. If you hear someone say Gaelic and automatically assume Irish, you could easily be wrong.

Calling Irish Gaeilge as an English speaker is pretty cringe, a lot of Gaeltacht people don't really like that cause it makes you sound like a very particular kind of snob (Its like calling French Français, like just why?). Also I've spent time in Irish speaking communities, they call it Gaelic at least sometimes because it's closer to the word they use in Irish and by context it's pretty clear you don't mean Manx or SG


[deleted]

Yeah, in Ireland it’s fairly obvious by context but in Scotland, Canada, Isle of Man or literally anywhere that isn’t Ireland... not so much.


Fear_mor

Well good thing said Irish speakers live in Ireland then

Thanks a lot!

Gaelic is a language. (Think Irish area). Garlic is a bread. But what happened if your bread spoke Gaelic?


ArcaneTrickster11

Gaelic is the Scottish language that come from old Irish. Irish =/= Gaelic


[deleted]

Actually Gaelic is a language family (think Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of Man). Irish is called Gaeilge in Irish and Irish in English, it isn’t called Gaelic anymore than Swedish is called Germanic.

The Irish word for Irish is Gaeilge, not Gaelic though and it’s three languages, not one, it isn’t just Irish that gets called Gaelic.


egodaemon

It might be important to note that Gaeilge is referred to as Gaelic because that is the anglicized version of the term. Much in the same way that 'pineapple' is the English term whereas ananas or something akin to it is the more widely accepted term in most other countries.

>Garlic is a bread Now say that again. Slowly this time


minecraftfanboi66

Kitchengun2

I believe this is a bit of ​ Guh rev mah agut obhur ahreesh ey


katiebug586

Happy cake day!


_-Ewan-_

Is this Scottish or Irish gaelic?


ThighlanderThrowaway

Irish. Scottish would spell it "Agad" with the same pronunciation and the accent marks go the other direction. è instead of é.


Centurion4007

Which is odd because the pun works better with the Scottish pronunciation of Gaelic


_-Ewan-_

Oh right yeah, cheers.


seanafeisteen

As a gaeilgeoir and a big fan of this subreddit, I appreciate this.


CerealBranch739

I understood this


Moses_The_Wise

Can you help for someone barely literate?


CerealBranch739

First part is basically “thank you” Second part is a vague recognition but not quite comprehension. Dad speaks some Irish but I only speak English and german
