    What I find so fascinating about insular Celtic languages (especially Goidelic), is that they look barely Indo-European at first glance, due to massive sound changes and some rather obscure vocabulary in parts. Also, their VSO sentence structure is highly unusual for European languages and reminds me a bit of Austronesian.

      Yeah the spelling norms of modern Celtic languages in general further add to the unfamiliarity. However what’s so interesting is their Indo-European relation becomes much clearer when you look at Continental Celtic languages in antiquity such as Gaulish which has a typical Indo-European sound inventory and cognates which show a fascinating parallel to the Italic branch. To most people who look at reconstructions, the Continental Celtic languages resembled Latin more than Welsh

      Depends on which Irish dialect, some are much closer to Scottish Gaelic are intelligible and many dialects it is not intelligible but still similar. Natives in the past could communicate but today especially as people learn Irish in schools with English accents people can’t.

      @@damonmartin1572Well there are only three surviving dialects and the only one which is partially mutually intelligible is the Ulster dialect, though much closer to other Irish dialects. In the past when Irish was spoken all over the isle however, there would have been more mutually intelligent forms primarily in the north east which probably had strong parallels to the Scottish Gaelic spoken closest to it on the other side of the sea, though obviously it’s *very* extinct in NI and anyone speaking Irish in Northern Ireland today either learned standard or some other dialect in school or personal study, or is not from NI at all.

      That’s because they are all Indo-European languages and (despite the massive differences between the subgroups) they still share certain basic vocabulary, such as the numbers.

    • @TheMouseandTheWall
      @TheMouseandTheWall День тому +1

      English three is also similar to both. they are all Indo-European languages so you will find similarities in especially the numbers and some basic vocabulary if you exempt loan words. Compare russian ‘voda’ to English water, and Russian ‘nos’to English nose.

      @fallennight22 Persian-Arabic and Turkish-Hungarian don’t share anything aside from some loanwords and even those might have very different pronunciations and in some cases, meaning of the word changes when entering the language on the receiving part.
      But when languages are from the same family, it’s not surprising to see similar words and structures even if they’re not spoken in close approximation. For example Persian numbers are similar to Irish.

    Actually as much of an obstacle as the spelling of Scottish Gaelic might be at first (I can’t speak for Irish) it’s actually much more consistent between spelling and pronunciation than English and with a bit of practice you get better at remembering what letters make which sounds.

      It depends. Ulster Irish is said to be a lot closer to Scottish Gaelic and Manx than other Irish dialects, but I'm general, all of the Gaelic languages came from Ireland in the first place.

      ⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@lost4eva081980 Literally every Indo-European language that isn’t Celtic uses the Latin script in roughly the same way. English-speakers don’t have a more difficult time understanding Celtic spelling than any other non-Celtic Indo-Europeans. It’s objectively really odd how the Insular Celts decided to use the Latin script. But Irish, Scottish Gaelic, and Welsh are the worst about it because they’ve had the smallest amounts of non-Celtic Indo-European influence, since Manx being influenced by Old Norse and Cornish being influenced by English and Breton being influenced by French have made them more normal.
