What's your hang up about saying SCOTTISH Gaelic? We speak Gaelic in Ireland, and they speak Gaelic in the Isle of Man. Gaelic is not a language (it's three), Scottish/Scots Gaelic is. Wabmaister: No hang up. I just supposed it would seem as plain as porridge That SCOTTISH Gaelic is meant on a website primarily to do with Scotland. Gaeilge - Gàidhlig - Gaelic?

I live in North Carolina and I'm trying to write a book and want a character, actually three, to be Scottish. I want to be able to make them sound Scottish in the text. So that they don't sound dumb, I need an expert opinion on how to portray them correctly. If anyone can help I would surely appreciate it. Thanks! (Great site by the way!!)

This site has been very useful to me. I can't speak or write a word of Scots, but I've got a boyfriend from Scotland, so studying this site has been a great aid to communication in the moments that he forgets that I am very very American.
