    Irish and Scottish Gaelic have a common root but this is now considerable difference between the two. As an example, here is the phrase Good night; Sleep peacefully in both.

    Gaeilge (Irish): Oíche mhaith; Codladh sámh (pronounced: Ee-ha wah; Kul-ah saw-v)

    Gàidhlig (Scottish): Oidhche mhath; cadal sàmhach (Oy-cha Va; Kart-al sav-ach)

    In terms of a Gaelic dictionary, the Gaelic Lexicon is an excellent online source.

    I’ve been learning Gàidhlig since June using Duolingo, supplementing it with info from learngaelic.scot which happens to have a useful dictionary that includes IPA pronunciation as well as an audio file of someone speaking the word or phrase.
