@@elios9045 I'm just beginning, in fact I only know one word (cù--dog (I think)), but duolingo just added a course. I don't know how reliable it is, or how accurate, but the first lesson I did seemed smoother than when I tried Swahili. Usually I am inclined to trust duolingo, but pardon if it turns unreliable in the long run. I have not gotten far, and just began, as I said. Pardon if this seems intrusive as you weren't asking me, but I couldn't help but notice your reply, and I'm very interested in this language and the revival on endangered ones, so I thought to give you my input. I hope this in some way gives you a kickstart, or at least a beginning resource. If you would like me to, I'll be on the lookout for youtube channels, and if I find any I could send you the link. Have a nice day, I hope your journey in Scottish Gaelic goes well!

so glad to hear your thoughts. I feel this way and I was raised by my family who all felt this way. It’s like there’s this pain that gets passed from generation to generation and a feeling that you’re just living the life in exile. My uncle, who for many years was the de facto chief of our clan because we had lost our bloodline, said it this way, “This country (America) asked me to go to war for her and I did. If she asked me to go to war again for her, I would. But my heart belongs first and foremost to Scotland.”

I cannot even begin to imagine Marion's anguish; a young mother heavily pregnant with her second son (with her toddler, Alasdair, beside her) forced by her own family to watch her Gregor beheaded by her own cousin. They truly seem to be Gaeldom's Romeo and Juliet. I can see her singing this to her boys to lull them to sleep while trying to ease her grief at the same time, praying that her sons will live at least to avenge Papa.

You should know that Scotland doesn’t have a native language. That would have been the Brittonic Pictish language, which was replaced by the Goidelic Gaelic language and the Germanic Scots language, which are both equally native to Scotland. Scotland either has two native languages or no native language anymore.

@@Eva-lq3cp Modern does not have to be so literal as you're taking it. Lammas is "modern" compared to Lughnasadh. In this context Lammas is a Christian holiday based on a pagan one to convert pagans. A pagan inspired Christian holiday.... is still a Christian holiday. If all Pagan inspired holidays were named so then Christianity probably wouldn't have any holidays at all, except maybe some of their saint days I suppose.

@@judahbea1401 "Christianising" a holiday makes that new holiday Christian. We're not going around calling christmas and Easter etc Pagan holidays, because they're not pagan anymore. If you want to be celebrating a Christian holiday as a pagan that is up to you. If you want to called Lughnasadh Lammas, that is up to you too, but the fact remains. But there is a distinction between a pagan holiday being called lammas... and the Christian lammas. Which considering the kind of time period this song was from, where pagan beliefs where almost completely dominated by Christianity, the lammas that we are talking about here is not a renamed Lughnasadh, its the Christian holiday. Talking origins is important but most other Pagan's I know tend to desire a line being drawn between Christian and Pagan. If you want to insult me and try and invalidate my existence as a pagan, that's up to you, but don't expect me to have any respect for your argument if you can't respect me.

I hadn’t played it since until tonight ( to sad). Then I read your comment. Weird!! It must of happened so I can send you a big warm hug. And big kisses from the two ratbags on my shoulders. Bubba and Dudley. I was so gutted after Rosie died, everything felt empty and quiet. Then a few weeks later I was offered a baby boy eclectus for very cheap. I only had him a couple of days, then my friend rang he has a 10 year old boy eclectus . He desperately needed a home for Bubba as he was moving overseas. It all happened so quick and unexpected. Two lovely but demanding birds. You need another bird. I have no doubt one will come to you soon. 😘

I don't know who will read this, but this is a journal for me. Recently, I have started getting into writing some of these kind of songs down in the musical and word aspect of it, starting with the song Gaol ise gaol i (another Scottish Gaelic song) and I think this will be my next project. I am lucky enough to know how to transcribe the music side of things, and recently got into phonetics. With my basic knowledge, I can try to get the words into the international phonetic alphabet, closest to how they are pronounced in the songs, without knowing any bit of Irish or Scottish Gaelic. Two months ago, I arranged and performed Gaol ise gaol i with voice, piano and bodhran, but I think for this song I am going to arrange it for an acapella Treble Choir. The words are going to take me a while to get into IPA, but it'll be worth it. Wish me luck! :)

The Brittonic Celtic languages should have the most in common with each other, but the Gaelic languages would be the next closest, and then all of the other Indo-European branches. You’ll likely notice some words in the Celtic languages that are similar to English or the other Germanic languages, or French or the other Italic languages, or even the Balto-Slavic or Indo-Iranic languages or Albanian, Greek, or Armenian. Some people noticing these similarities might think they’re loanwords from English or French, or possibly Latin from further back, but they’re often not loanwords at all but rather just words from same ancient Indo-European root.

Literally playing this, my son (29) wanders in with moist eyes..."just so hauntingly sad, dad" ... remembered 1st time he heard real bagpipes with me at a festival at 4 years old. Started doing a (4yo version) jig! ...and he'd never even seen one before! (Scotch/Irish, red hair, etc) his mom was amazed as well.its Un the blood and soul.

It mentions "Lammas Day". In Romeo and Juliet, ?the Nurse says about Juliet, "On Lammas Eve at night she shall be fourteen." (Lammas Eve is just over two weeks hence at the time, in the story.) So Juliet is 13, almost 14, years old, and her birthday is July 31, same birthday as Harry Potter. (I am a big fan of both Shakespeare and Harry Potter.)
