According to Statistics Canada, there were 300 mother tongue speakers in 2011. Most literature on Gaelic in Nova Scotia puts the number of speakers at around 2000, although this includes second language learners. In the late 1800s, there were around 100,000 native speakers in Canada. Today, revitalization efforts are underway to preserve and celebrate Gaelic language and culture, especially in Nova Scotia which is the home of Canadian Gaelic.
