Let me ask you guys something. I am Celtic descent. Is Gaelic making any headway in Ireland or Scotland? I hope the answer is yes but historically that hasn't happened with other languages that folks have tried to resurrect. I would love to learn it but it looks terribly hard, especially since it never seems to sound like it is written. Also, though similar, Scottish Gaelic and the Irish are different right? Sort of like American English and standard English? Correct me if I am wrong. My Scot and Irish friends have always been helpful here and I appreciate it. A wee aside here and I think it funny. People here in Appalachia refer to themselves as Scotch/Irish.
