Outlander Gaelic

[freep]

One other thing. You talk of Gaelic and Broad Scots. Most people don't even realise that the two are entirely unrelated. <snip>

Of course, even there you have Gaelidh (Scots Gaelic) and Gaelige (Irish), plus Manx (Isle of Man), although I'm told they are mostly mutually intelligible. I think there are three or four distinct dialects of Irish, and probably a similar number of Scots Gaelic dialects. I know a few bits and pieces of Irish, but have never seen Outlander anyway.


Brythonic dialects are quite a bit different from Gaelic, although related to Gaelic as well as to eachother. Brythonic comprises Welsh, Cornish (SW England) and Breton (Brittany in France). <snip>

I knew most of the above.

The last speaker of Nore also died in the North of Scotland circa late 1700s, with nothing to reconstruct it from, although it was a form of Norse, and some nouns survive in modern use, at least up there. <snip>

Hadn't heard of Nore. It would make sense though, given the Norse influences up there.
