Gaelic languages are a group of Celtic languages primarily spoken in Scotland and Ireland, with the two main languages being Irish and Scottish Gaelic. These languages share a common ancestry and exhibit similarities in vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation, but have developed distinct characteristics over time. Irish is spoken mainly in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, while Scottish Gaelic is predominantly spoken in Scotland, particularly in the Highlands and the Western Isles. Both languages have rich literary traditions and cultural significance, with ongoing efforts to promote their use and revitalization. The study of Gaelic languages offers insights into the history, culture, and identity of the Celtic peoples.
