Philippa Lyr Req: Amazing Grace as Gaeilge (48) RE: Lyr Req: Amazing Grace as Gaeilge 16 Nov 99


I just got a copy of an Irish translation (Munster dialect, I believe); will get it to you.

The word 'Gaelic' can refer to Scottish, Irish or Manx; so it's usually used with a prefix, i.e. 'Scots Gaelic'. 'Irish' or 'Manx' used on their own refer to the Gaelic languages, but Scots usually means a dialect of English. People may debate whether it is a dialect or a language in its own tight. A similar debate is made about the Gaelic languages, which some say are all dialects of Gaelic. Gàidhlig is Scottish, Gaeilge is Irish, but in Scotish Gaelic, 'Irish' is 'Gàidhlig na hEireann'

I only skimmed the messages above mine, so please excuse any repetition.
