Is math sin.
It's been a while since I spoke Gaidhlig and I've lost most of it. It's very similar to Irish (Gaeilge) so I get mixed up very easily.

When I say ''Gaidhlig'' I mean ''Celtic'' (or whatever they call it now, Scot's Gaelic?). ''Gaeilge'' is Irish.

@chris: Here is where I get very confused. "Gaelic" over here is an anglicized version of "gaeilge", so it means Irish. However you say it means "Gaidhlig"? I learned that the official Celtic name for your language was "Gaidhlig" and Wikipedia confirms it.

I get so confused between Irish Gaelic and Scottish Gaelic.

Well Scots Gaelic (or Gaidhlig) was brought to Scotland by Irish invaders soon after the fall of Roman rule in Britain. The invaders came from Dal Riada in county Antrim. They also brought the name ''Scot'' to Scotland (Scoti was a name the Romans gave to Irish ''pirates''). However the common language spit over a long period of time. The last clinch was in the early 20th century when the revival of the Irish language began. The nationalist movement in Ireland began to formalise Irish grammar, but they neglected to include Scots Gaelic.
