What languages are spoken in Scotland and Ireland?

Gaelic
The native language of the Highlands of Scotland is Gaelic (Ph: gah-lick) / Gàidhlig. However, due to a systematic dismantling of the language by successive British governments since the 18th century and the economic power of the Lowlands the predominant language in all of Scotland is now English and has been for a couple of hundred years. Most Scots speak in the Scots dialect to some extent, however. Gàidhlig is still spoken widely in the Western Isles.
