learning gaelic

[jthk]

I can't really speak either, but, for example, Irish = Gaelige (with the terminal e voiced), whereas Scots Gaelic = Gaelidh (with the dh pronounced like th). So, even if they can largely understand eachother, some of the differences are apparently fairly basic.

The Irish word for their native language (Gaeilge) varies between regions. The Munster folks say, Gaelainn and the Donegal folks often say "Gaeilic" but Connacht may say Gaeil-ige. Anyway. Lovely stuff all around.
