Hey annag

It's great how they can switch from sounding so American to sounding like they are from the Highlands or Western Isles.

wish we had this in new brunswick when i was in school, we should be encouraging this all through the maritimes

This is next-level degrees of cool. They've got a school teaching French, Mi'kmaq, and fuckin *Gaelic.* Where else on the planet does that happen?

My father who passed away in June of 2023, was a fluent Gaelic speaker. My mother was not even though she was Scottish so she took Gaelic lessons learning to speak, read and write the language. My dad taught us kids a few things in Gaelic but I wish he had taught it to us from birth! The reason given as to why Gaelic wasn’t passed down throughout the years was because the government had forbade people to speak anything but English! Now there were some who didn’t listen to this order such as the Mic Macs and Acadians! That is why many of them still have young ones speaking their language and why Gaelic people are in jeopardy of losing the language! My dad quite often was asked to attend little assemblies where people were learning to speak Gaelic and he enjoyed doing that a lot! My parents visited Scotland twice and explored where their ancestors are from! All the signs that are the names of places on Cape Breton Island are in both English and Gaelic which is nice to see! 🦋

Kinda wild they pronounce it ‘Gay-lic’ as in Irish, where we in Scotland pronounce it ‘Gah-lic’. Really interesting how it’s developed the other side of the pond.

youre a very good interviewer, you get all the best details from your subject

as an irish speaker, nova scotia gaelic is sort of calming. its very soft compared to irish. keep it living!

Grandma’s last name Rankins and Grandfather is Welsh named Jones. It’s been very fun learning Welsh and Scots Gaelic. They come easily. Shame I learned German before ever becoming interested in my celtic blood languages. Also, Jesus Christ is the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father except through Him. Believe on Jesus Christ and you will be saved!

Halò. Gabhabh mo leisgeul. Tha ceist agam… air Beurla. I learnt that in Gaelic MacDonald is spelt MacDhòmhnaill. Are the different spellings/pronunciations of MacDonald due to regional variation, different dialects of Gaelic, or other factors, and what would people on North Uist (Uibhust a Tuath) say?

👏🏻

A precious resource; our very culture and history. Too important to let die. I hope to get to Maboo on Cape Breton Island to see Dalbrae Academy and maybe a Gaelic Festival.

I've recently started learning to speak and seeing this really is an inspiration thank you :)

Recorded in my Father's kitchen in Boisdale..

Thanks for the video!

My great-great-grandfather Duncan Robertson emigrated from Scotland to Canada in the mid-1800s. Eventually either he or his son made it down to the States and his ancestors have been here ever since. He was a chemist, and spoke 6 languages - I don't know for sure if Gàidhlig was one of them, but I've been really enjoying learning it and connecting with that part of my heritage. I'm a musician and singer and would love to learn some of the old songs, but I'd much rather have some understanding of the language than just mimic the sounds. It's such a beautiful language and culture. Warms my heart to see these bright young people valuing it and keeping the traditions alive. 💛

Toilichte a ràdh gun do thuig mi an ìre mhath a h-uile facal an seo 🙂 'S ann à Sasainn a Deas a tha mise o thùs, ach tha mise agus mo bhean a' fuireach ann an Glaschu (uill, taobh a-muigh) a-nis. Bidh sinn a' tadhal air Canada, Alba Nuadh agus Ceap Bhreatainn san Dàmhair am-bliadhna agus is sinne a tha a' dèanamh fiughair ris! Tha mi làn dòchas gum bi teansa ann tighinn còmhla ri feadhainn eile aig a bheil Gàidhlig - nì sinn conaltradh ri Gàidheil eile cho luath 's a bhios fios againn cuin agus càite am bi sinn. Tha mi a' guidhe deagh sheachdain ùr dhuibh! Ldd, Andy (ionad "An Lòchran", Glaschu)

I've been dabbling in Gaelic a little bit as it is interesting and I came upon this video. Then I saw the name Duncan Rankin. Maybe We're related?

As a Welsh speaker originally from North Wales, this really touches my heart! I've always loved Scots Gaidhlig and am very glad to see that the culture and language are alive and kicking here.

Gle mhath!

Look up Julie Fowlis "A Ghaoil, Leig Dhachaigh Gum Mhathair Mi" This girl will move your oul with her music.

Captions would be super helpful for these lessons, or barring that, a word list! Great lesson otherwise :)

My only issue is gaelic (scottish) is pronounced gaa-lik, not gay-lik that refers to irish

This is my Pépère! I'm so grateful that toy posted this!

This is lovely. I just wish that Gaelic had been preserved in PEI as well, since now I am trying to learn it with basically no clue what the dialect sounded like and our old words and turns of phrase in my home community are pretty well lost. So that saddens me deeply and I really wish people had had the foresight to preserve it, and had seen the value in it. I have words here and there and am trying to piece it together but... It's basically lost. For God's sake don't let it happen in Cape Breton too! It is SO SO SPECIAL!

Go Raibh mhaith agat alig as Eireann.

I wish there were more recources in mybarea all i have id duolingo....

Failte Rowat as Eireann, go Raibh mhaith agat alig.

Song at 1:25 ?

probably more gaelic speakers here than in actual scotland sadly...

I'm a native ulster irish speaker and this is very fascinating

That was FUN! I am just learning Gaelic and it just confirmed how much I still need to learn. This will be useful going further as I can always come back to it and listen. Thank You!🥰, Sharon

Amazing recording glad to know native speech is still with us.

Great to see the Gaelic languageis moving forward. Lovely Cape Breton Nova Scotia Canada😊

I love this... thank you, NS & Canada for this great project. I would love to (see)/hear, on YT or the television, or whatever, the equivalent of Say Something In Welsh [e.g. 'Bedtime Welsh' 1-100 or 'Lockdown Irish' on Aran Jones's YT channel] or, for Irish, the same method being used separately in YT channel, 'Speaking Irish' 1-34... Both teachers teach the building blocks of everyday language in small chunks, guided into longer phrases/sentences by short English - no reading, no writing, no grammar, minimal explanations, much practising in making real phrases, in word order & in mutations etc. Please please look these two teachers up! Say Something in Manx, and SSi Cornish also exist! Tapadh lèibh!

I would love to see a video in this format about Fishing.

This is nice to have. She is my second cousin. My mother, Doris was fluent in Gaelic too, as were her 3 siblings, Elbert, Anna & Margaret. Anna MacKinnon was a MacDonald and her mother was Margaret Rankin from Sight Point, Inverness.

Glè mhaith!
