Thread Name: Gaelic Language Bill
Subject: RE: Gaelic Language Bill
Ola!
I would like to take this opertunity to say soreeeey to anyone who has had a bad experience from the more ardent supporters of Scots Gaelic and although we should strive not to let politics in, it finds a way.

I would love to see Scotland like the Netherlands with a population ably to communicate in more than just one language. Gaelic, Doric, Scots, English, Orcadian etc, but please understand that Gaelic has had a constent fight ot get to where it is today. A lot of good people have fought tooth and nail to get us to the stage we feel able to say, "Give us some protection".

But what I would not want to see is Scotland having a "Language line" that has lead to two Belgiums one called Belgique and the other Belgie.
