Best Answer

Although many outside of Ireland refer to the native language as "Gaelic", in Ireland itself it is called "Irish"; the related language of Scotland is simply called "Gaelic" in that country. Irish is called Gaeilge and (Scots) Gaelic is called

Gàidhlig in their respective languages.

The term Gaelic can also refer to the common culture of Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of Man; as in "Gaelic football".
