Extractions: This small corner of the topic of Scots loanwords in Scottish Gaelic illustrates quite well some of the problems of interpretation that loanwords present concerning the relationships between the speakers of Gaelic and the speakers of Scots. The present paper merely brings out some of the problems; it does not claim to solve them. Table I below gives us a fair idea of the range of relevant loanwords. The phonetic transcriptions are narrow, and most are based on pronunciations found in the islands of North Uist and Barra although occasionally pronunciations from other areas are used. In no instance though is the provenance of a pronunciation indicated in the table. For eight words my sources have not yielded a reliable traditional pronunciation, and in these cases the phonetic transcriptions given are theoretical and are marked by an asterisk. The problem of dating the time of borrowing of the etymon of each of the Gaelic words will be dealt with briefly later. First, it is interesting to note the geographical distribution of some of the words. It must be emphasised that the relevant information set forth here is derived mainly from the files of The Historical Dictionary of Scottish Gaelic and from native Gaelic-speaking colleagues from Lewis, North Uist, Barra and Wester Ross.

Extractions: A new dictionary is being compiled which will put tens of thousands of Scots words dating back as far as 800 years on the internet. Academics behind the project hope it will be available online by February 2004. And the project has won praise from the chairwoman of the Scottish Parliament's cross-party group on the Scots language. The Scottish National Party's deputy education spokeswoman, Irene McGugan, visited the team of researchers at the University of Dundee on Monday. Irene McGugan The MSP for North East Scotland said: "Vernacular Scottish is used by more than one million people daily and is the largest 'minority' language in the UK. "This indicates a changing mood towards our culture, which is vitally important. If we don't work to keep the indigenous languages alive, no one else will do it for us.

Extractions: Having attracted the attention of dialectologists and sociolinguists as well as phonologists, Northern varieties of Irish English have been studied more than the Southern dialects. This paper surveys existing research on the phonology of English in the north of Ireland and identifies a number of areas for further research that might be served by an Atlas of Irish English, some of which are pointed out below. By collating existing data and filling in gaps, an Atlas of Irish English could contribute answers to questions relating to the extent to which the three regional varieties diverge from one another. Given the recent state recognition of Ulster-Scots under the terms of the Good Friday Agreement , it is also relevant to address the issue of the degree to which Scots has influenced Mid- and South Ulster English, as well as the question of just how Northern English or Northern British the 'Scots' influence might, in fact, be. This would, of course, require detailed comparison with the North of England (which may well be facilitated by the planned Beal, Corrigan, Honeybone, McMahon project on urban Northern Englishes), as well as work on the English migration to Ulster and the extent of Scots and English population mixing in Mid and South Ulster. Northern Irish English is not only the outcome of dialect contact between nonstandard Scots and English dialects but also of language contact between English/Scots and Irish Gaelic (with some influence of Scots Gaelic too). While some phonological research to date has focused on the origins of various dialect features in the relevant source vernaculars, there has been hardly any study of the phonology of present-day, recent or shifting Gaeltacht areas or speakers. The survival of Irish into the present day in the region means that in parts of Donegal it is still possible to study the ongoing interaction of the phonologies of English and Irish and this too would seem to be a fruitful area of research which an Electronic Atlas could expedite.

Extractions: Scots or Scottish English is perhaps the first place to look for Gaelic words coming into English; unfortunately quite a number of these words are unfamiliar outside Scotland: Dule or dool, as a noun signifying grief or distress, or as an adjective meaning sad or sorrowful, comes from the Gaelic noun "doilgheas" (sorrow, affliction) and the adjective "duilich" (difficult, sorry, grievous). Keelie (a rough young man, a tough) and gillie (an attendant to a sport hunter/fisher on a Highland estate) derived from "gille" (a lad, a young man, a servant). Sassenach (an English person) from Sasunnach.

Extractions: Scots Gaelic The Gaelic Language is spoken by around 86,000 individuals primarily in the North of Scotland and in the Western Isles (eg. Skye, Lewis, Harris). The vast majority of gaelic speakers are bilingual Gaelic / English. Today there are very few people who do not speak English. Gaelic (or Scottish Gaelic as it is sometimes known outside Scotland) has similarities to the other Celtic languages, and is particulary close to Irish (or Irish Gaelic ) to the extent that a mutual understanding is possible. This Indo-European is also spoken by small groups in Canada and Australia. Click on flag for map

http://uk.geocities.com/richard_archibald/ullans_main.html

Extractions: Although English is by far the most widely used language of the nine county province of Ulster, many people conduct their daily lives using Irish gaelic and Ulster-Scots. About 100,000 people are estimated to speak Ulster-Scots as well as English with about 10,000 people (usually the older generation) using only Ulster-Scots. Countless others throughout the province speak English with occasional borrow words from both Gaelic and Ulster-Scots. Ulster-Scots is a germanic language, i.e. it comes from the same language family as German, Dutch and English (to name but a few). It is incredibly similar to English, so much so that it is often thought of as merely a dialect or 'improper' form of English. Ulster-Scots is unlike a dialect however as it not only has a discrete vocabulary but also a discrete grammar as will hopefully be elucidated in these pages. In fact, the parent language of Ulster-Scots, Lowland Scots or Lallans has been classified by the European Bureau of Lesser Used Languages . Scots was brought to Ulster by the plantations of the 15th and 16th centuries where it met with not only the Irish gaelic language, but also with a Nordic influence. The regions where Ulster-Scots is spoken today (shown below) are still consistent with the distribution of the early Scottish settlers of the plantations and due to many factors which would present a subject on its own, these regions have subtleties of speech which make them distinct enough to almost be dialects of Ulster-Scots. It is possible then that Ulster-Scots is a language in its own right, and one could easily imagine the relationship between Scots and Ulster-Scots as being very similar to that between Irish Gaelic and Scottish Gàidhlig.

Extractions: Gaelic in Ireland and Scotland and Scots Enquiry recommends comprehensive languages policy A cross-party enquiry in Scotland is calling for a comprehensive policy which recognises the place of Gaelic, Scots and community languages. It also accepts the need for further research. In their recommendations, MSPs call for more financial support for minority languages, further research into the use of Scots, backed by a statistical analysis, and more in-service training for teachers to allow them to teach Scots from P1 onwards. (TESS, 28 February 2003) Gaelic heading for oblivion in Scotland Figures from the 2001 census show that the number of Scotland's Gaelic speakers has fallen below 60,000 for the first time, a 15% decline in a decade. If it falls below 50,000, Gaelic will be considered officially dead. The decline has been slow and steady. Gaelic was introduced from Ireland to Scotland in the 5th century and remained the main language in most rural areas until the early 17th century.
