Gaelic is spoken in two variations in Ireland and Scotland as Scottish-Gaelic and Irish (Gaelic). But how can you tell the two, which are separate languages, apart when they look so similar especially to foreign eyes?

I scored 100% in the test, but I cheated by being a fluent Gàidhlig speaker. In terms of mutual intelligibility, I (as a Skye-man) can converse fairly well with a friend from Munster, though it is helped by him living here in Scotland with his kids attending Gàidhlig school (where my kids also attend - we became pals through meeting at kids' birthday parties). I really struggle to READ Irish though - when I read anything other than a basic sentence in Irish, I cannot really fathom it. However, if I then read an Enlglish translation, I'll have an "I see what you're doing there" type moment, and it makes sense. Finally, your pronounciations were pretty spot on though. Very impressive effort from a non-speaker. And thank you for your words of support for our languages - they can have a future, but it will be an uphill struggle, so all support and encouragement is greatly appreciated.

As a fluent Irish speaker I think the easiest way to tell is the difference in the amount of "ch" sounds. Irish has far more and we also speak with less melody in our voices. Scottish Gaelic tends to go up and down in pitch and cadence more than Irish which is just a constant barrage of words and CHs.

A Donegal fisherman (Ulster) told me he can understand most of what the Scottish Gallic-speaking fishermen say and visa-versa. A Munster Gaelic speaker would understand much less I suspect. The Irish ('Scot') migration into the Highlands and Western Isles of Scotland gave rise to a culture that survived vigorously until the Highland Clearances and Culloden. But thankfully it's making a comeback again with help from the powers-that-be instead of persecution, as before. Here in Ireland the language (as a vernacular) is in serious decline. Everyone studies it for 13 years at primary & postprimary level but only a small number speak it outside the classroom. Very sad to lose such an ancient, complex and poetic language. It was adapted to the Latin script much earlier than most European languages by the learned monks in the numerous monasteries in Ireland and Scotland.

It is actually the correct received pronunciation of the English word Connaught. The province is now spelt "Connacht" and pronounced differently since the foundation of the Irish State and the re-introduction of Irish placenames and usages for institutions and titles such as Dáil for our parliament and Taoiseach for our Prime Minister etc..... Both spellings remain in use chiefly in street names and company names, examples being Connaught Telegraph and Connacht Tribune, both local papers and Connaught Street in Athlone.

Thank You so much for your time. I appreciate it. My aunt had Alzheimer's, I took care of her for 4 months before she passed away last year. I have Irish and Scottish ancestors. My grandfather full Irish, married my grandmother, full Swedish on my father's side. Scottish comes from my mother's side.

My uncle has a house on Eriskay which is an island close to Barra. When I visited him up there, we went to the pub on the island and everyone was speaking Scottish-Gaelic! I'm now thinking about learning it because it's such a fascinating language! Great video by the way, always wondered how to differentiate the languages!

If you're still learning Irish, try Mango Languages as well. If your local library is partnered with Mango and you have a card with your library, you may be able to get a free premium membership so you'll have access to all of the language chapters. It's far more in depth than DuoLingo is and explains what you're learning as opposed to DuoLingo just teaching what are basically nonsense phrases. (I still haven't figured out what the woman is doing in the fridge.) Also, I hope the lasso commenter didn't put you off learning. There's still plenty of places in Ireland where you will hear Irish used on a fairly regular basis and even in the places where it's mostly English speakers, the road signs are also in Irish. It's a beautiful, surprisingly easy language to learn. One thing that helped me was finding out once I learn the vowel sounds, and the combination sounds (bh, ch, dh etc), no matter what word I see them in -- even if I've never seen the word before I'll still be able to pronounce it. That took a lot of the stress of trying to learn a different language off my mind.

Hi Hilbert! As an Irish person living in Scotland, I've noticed another one: While words can be the exact same in pronounciation, they can be spelt differently, such as ceilí and ceilidh being the most commonly found. í (Irish) and dh (Scottish) is quite common.

@Ollie O' Brien, yes and no. The various Gaelic languages were effectively a single languages up until the Early Modern Irish period, but diverged with the loss of the common standard of Classical Irish and the fracturing of the dialect continuum caused by the Ulster Plantations. No one language can in any way be said to be derived from one is the others; all three are siblings.

Since the spelling reforms of the Irish language the letter V has been added to irish spelling. This occurs in introduced words such as "veain" (van) "vodca" (vodka) "vota" (vote) "both votala" (voting booth) . The right tilting "acute"accent is known as the "fada" in Irish and is used over all 5 vowels. Irish can still be written in the archiac uncial script, which is still used in page headings and shop signs.

One thing I rely on for distinguishing the two languages (apart from my limited Scots Gaelic) is that Irish has rationalised the spelling, but apart from deciding all the accents would go left (which had no effect on pronunciation at all, unlike in French) Scots Gaelic has long long words with far too many vowels! We should negotiate an exchange with Welsh or Polish, languages which seem to be averse to writing vowels. I was surprised at first that Scots Gaelic has no words for “yes” or “no” (although “aye” may be used), but then I remembered Latin managed very well without.

There were not 'grammatical' reforms of Scottish Gaelic. There were orthographic reforms aimed at reducing/simplifying spelling variations first published in 1981. This recommended using only the grave accent.

Do you speak it? It's important for the youngest generations to start speaking endangered languages.im from India. My mother tongue is a dying indian language and the only people who speak it are the people from my grandparents' generation. When I speak to them I speak to them in our dying language but otherwise even when I speak to people in my own family I speak in English or the more widely spoken Indian languages like Kannada and hindi. It's sad that in this generation no one speaks our mother tongue regularly. My siblings and I decided to speak to each other only in our mother tongue. We kept it up for a day because we are more fluent in English, hindi.etc than we are in our mother tongue and we couldn't express ourselves very well. It's really sad to see languages die out
