What are the 4 languages?

[@Miss_Ink_Addict]

@johnconner3901 The four native languages of Scotland are English, Scots, Gaelic and Doric. All recognised and registered languages. You can confirm this with UNESCO. And of course there is technically 5 if you include British Sign Language. This isn't to negate the non-native languages of Scotland as we have many of those. There's approximately 150 languages used in Scotland.

So about 6 months ago when i started learning Scots Gaelic, i watched this video and was blown away by the language as one descended from ClannRanald, evading persecution for being jacobites my ancestors darted across the world and assimilated well into rural New Zealand with a mix of irish, welsh, manx and other sorts. Now 6 months later watching this video i'm blown away with how much i understand without needing the subtitles and also understanding why you used this word or that word. Thanks for the inspiration! i hope to watch this in another six months and compare how much more i'll know.

[@mikem9001]

Try the different programs. A couple have been mentioned already in the comments, and Duolingo is another one. Its important to find which one suits you best. Remember that 80% of learning a language is mindless repetition, so finding a program that helps you to speak a few phrases each day will really help you. Don't give up! That's especially true of Scottish Gaelic where the pronunciation works in a different way to what we are used to.

As an American whose now spent just over a year dedicatedly trying to learn Gaelic via daily apps and whatever scarce books I can get my hands on at Highland Games/Celtic Diaspora shops, I've been very anxious about whether all of my efforts have been for nothing in all my time spent learning the language when I have very little chance to practice it with another Gaelic-speaker. Though I have one or two friends also learning it, their lives unfortunately haven't allowed them time to dedicate anywhere near as much time to it and they've not been able to advance beyond the very basics). Just finding this video and listening to it without looking at the screen/subtitles and being able to effectively comprehend at least 90-95% of your conversation renewed my spirits that what I'm studying is actually taking root and that the time and money I've invested in my informal studies haven't been totally for naught. Thank you so much for making this video!

I'm trying to learn more about my gaelic ancestry I found my clan motto and battle cry and I'd really like to know the correct pronunciation if you did a video reading mottos and such I think it would be really cool and informative. Clan cameron battle cry: Chlanna nan con thigibh a so’s gheibh sibh feoil and motto: Aonaibh Ri Chéile

[@CarlsLingoKingdom]

Thanks! I might do a video on clan mottos.

Somebody teach me how to read the song "Liam" by in Extremo in Gaelic, I like this song, I want to be able to sing along haha

[@fur-backgeeksuniverse4223]

I am about this speed into terms of understanding LOL. Some of the other speakers were a bit to quick or too many new words for me to keep up with.

[@CarlsLingoKingdom]

Keep it up!

Ar fheabhas! Tá Gaeilic an Chabháin agam, tuigim thú ar an gcuid is mó de, ach ba chóir dom Gaeilic na hAlban a fhoghlaim. Maith thú! 💙

[@CarlsLingoKingdom]

Mòran taing!

[@user-hb8uf8ok1g]

Wow, fantastic. Sounds like German more than English

[@CarlsLingoKingdom]

Interesting! Why do you say that?

[@jeffreymicher510]

I've been learning Manx for 6 months now and I'm surprised at how many words I could pick out (without looking at the translations)

[@CarlsLingoKingdom]

I've not studied any Manx, but it doesn't surprise me. Keep it up!

We just moved to Scotland and we got cat, looking for name in Gaelic. It's a boy, white and grey. Please advise where to find clues, maybe some dictionary or other resources.

[@CarlsLingoKingdom]

I recommend the LearnGaelic.scot dictionary online. Lots of good stuff!

[@timothybelloftheclanbell1658]

I've been studying through Duolingo and it won't always give me the pronunciations of some words or names I tried looking it up but it just gives a bunch of chicken scratch symbols I don't understand. I don't know how any of that's supposed to help me pronounce the words. I've lost count of how many I couldn't learn the pronunciations of but here are a few. Friseal/Fhriseil, tuathanas, and bhròg.

[@CarlsLingoKingdom]

I'd recommend using the LearnGaelic dictionary. It's got audio pronunciations: learngaelic.scot/dictionary/index.jsp Also, consider expanding beyond Duolingo: kzbin.info/www/bejne/npu9ZGWYgc5nq6c

[@amac2573]

Your gaelic is good and I am quite envious! Generally people expect me to be able to speak it as both my Parents were native speakers, however.....long story. Some of the subtitles they have on BBC programmes are more context, than accurate translations.

[@CarlsLingoKingdom]

Tapadh leibh! Keep it up-you'll get there. You've definitely got it easier than most of us!

Gaelic is a beautiful language that sounds a lot like English

[@CarlsLingoKingdom]

There are some similarities, but I don't think it sounds a lot like English...to me, anyway!

Is there any connection or did a connection arise between Anglo-Saxon and Gaelic. Also, I suppose it varied between places. Where, and in what countries was Gaelic spoken....I can guess Ireland, Scotland, Cornwall?, Wales (these two are quite different from the others?), and Breton (I suppose it was Bretony....According to the book 'Sapiens' mostly these nationalisms etc are all disappearing. An example is India where tea drinking and much else that is admired was introduced by the British (included Scots after the Union in 1707). Does nationalism have a place? If we survive, are we looking at a One World with...how many languages. And indeed, the universal thing is .... well there are many .... but we know about money, and then we have English, Spanish, Chinese...perhaps Hindi... perhaps we need to preserve so to speak these other languages as the very ubiquity of the other way is tedious at best and possibly terrifying at worst? Any thoughts anyone? .....I don't know...have no idea...But back to the top....the connection to Gaelic, it has to connect with something....although Chinese etc...well we can see they kind of evolved....why do people chose one word and not another for a thing? Wittgensteinian question that one...Probably unanswerable...

[@CarlsLingoKingdom]

Honestly I'm not sure what your question is...

Mòran taing! Math fhèin! Tha cat agam agus tha cearc agam. Tha mi à fuireach ann an Carolina a Tuath cuideachd, ach anns na beanntan. Bhidio sgoinneil! Slàinte mhath a charaid!

Hey my friend Jones speaks Gaelic and she said youre her uncle

[@CarlsLingoKingdom]

Haha! I don't know Jones, but glad others are speaking Gaelic.

[@AutisticAuditsUK]

I have begun on Duolingo and already on unit 3!

[@CarlsLingoKingdom]

Sgoinneil! How else are you studying?

[@AutisticAuditsUK]

@@CarlsLingoKingdom Autism allows me to pick up language faster than most people just because of intense focus on a single idea for long periods. I am fluent in Dutch and learn mostly on duo and KZbin day in day out, writing speaking etc, eventually the goal is to do an audit entirely in Gaelic. Lol 🤣🤣 imagine police figuring out what I am saying yet Gaelic speakers getting everything!!
