∙ 11y agoNo. They vary enough to be classified as separate languages. They shared a common literary language until the 1600s, but the dialects of the common folk differed even then. Scottish Gaelic was more influenced by Norse than Irish and Irish was less so. Historically Irish was divided into southern (Munster) and northern; the northern subdivided into Connacht and Ulster. The East Ulster dialect shared some charcteristics with Scottish Gaelic and the dialects of southwest Scotland resembled Irish in some respects. The pronunciation is probably the greatest difference, but the written language is more intelligible.

In what country is Gaelic spoken?
=== === The Gaels arrived in Ireland, from Spain according to myths. They were the Celtic people of Ireland. They later conquered Scotland and the Isle of Man. People in those countries, especially in Ireland, would still consider themselves to be Gaels. They founded the Kingdom of Dál Riada (present day N. Ireland and NW Scotland). === === DNA research has indicated that there is truth to the Spanish origin: the Irish are genetically close to the the Basques. On the other hand, the findings of Santos Alonso et al indicate that there was no genetic link between Basques and Celtic populations beyond that provided by the Paleolithic ancestry common to European populations.

How do you say sorry in Scottish?
You would just say sorry There are three main languages spoken in Scotland - English, Scots and Scottish Gaelic. The main variety of English spoken in Scotland is Standard Scottish English which is practically identical, at least in spelling and punctuation to standard English (note standard English is that spoken in England; the American term 'British English' doesn't mean anything to people in the UK and is merely a political tool to give American English equal standing with standard English). Scots is sometimes called Lowland Scots to distinguish it from Scottish Gaelic. It is derived from early northern Middle English. It is not the same as Standard Scottish English which has its roots in modern English. Scottish Gaelic is a Celtic language derived from Old Irish, today spoken mainly in the Highlands and Islands, although until relatively recently, spoken throughout most of Scotland. The name for the language in Scottish Gaelic is Gàidhlig [gahlik] or Gàidhlig na h-Alba [gahlik na hallapa] to distinguish it from Irish Gaelic and Manx Gaelic. The language is not called Scots Gaelic or Gaelic (unqualified). To confuse matters further it was once known as Scottis, and later as Erse. In summary, it does not make sense to ask how to say something in Scottish. You need to specify whether you are referring to English, Scots or Scottish Gaelic.
