I once met an old man working as a tour guide in the Kyle of Lochalsh near Skye. I had been learning Gaelic for about a year or so, and I was attempting to translate a Gaelic sign to a friend of mine. He had heard me, came over to us and greeted me in Gaelic. His accent was very strong, so strong we were forced to conduct most of our conversation in English as I could not really understand him in Gaelic. He told me about how when he was a boy in Skye schoolteachers would beat him with a stick for speaking Gaelic in class and as such he had never learned to read or write in Gaelic, he only knew it from speaking it to his parents at home. He was a fascinating fellow but I could tell there was a real sadness about him. Part of the final generation of a dwindling Gàidhealtachd on Skye, forced to speak a foreign tongue his whole life, unable to communicate with even his own family in anything but English. A tragic story told over and over again across Scotland.
Similar stories among Ireland and Northern Ireland, and parts of Wales too. Here's hoping all these beautiful languages make a revival and return to their people stronger than ever, lest they be lost forever.
Same in Brittany, there were a punition that, if you speak Breton, you would have a "symbol". If you see someone in your school speaking Breton, you have to give him the "symbol" and, if you have it at the end of the day, you would be punished severely (chores, extra homework, corporal punishment, detentions, a general mockery session organised by the teacher, fines, etc.) And of course, long live France for teaching these non-French speaking peasants about civilisation and the sublime French language !
Don't forget your cousins down in Wales too! Welsh might not be intelligible to the Gaelic languages but we'll always stand by our Gaelic brothers and sisters, as well as our fellow Brythonic siblings, all as Celts! And regardless of what Country we belong to, we will always be proud to be Celtic!

Not that strange. Just odd if you are not used to it. The most important thing is that any letter followed by an h, is not written phonetically. Rather like an umlaut in German, the h indicates a set of sound changes. In all the other Celtic languages these sounds are just written as pronounced. Add to that the fact that dh and th have changed over time, and all consonants (except labials) have two values, according to the neighbouring vowel, just like a c in English can be as in code or cede depending on the vowel. You will also hear that the d and t, when next to an e or i are like the d in the way som people pronounce duty and in lecture. The same thing has happened in some Brazilian dialects. chagaraich seems to be a typo for chagarsaich, and maybe the same thing has happened with glagaraich (which is obviously meant to rhyme but I do not know the word and nor does my dictionary).
Though I’m not full blooded Scot only partial, but I sympathize with the native speakers of the highlands of Scotland and the other Celtic peoples of Europe that still managed to keep their heritage alive through their language.
I took a series of classes in Scots Gaelic back in the Nineties. The teacher was leader of a Gaelic singing group called Keltoi. I have a couple of their CDs, one of which includes this song. It is a favorite of mine.
England hasnt done shit to Scotland. Scots want to be victims so much despite contributing a massive amount to the British Empire. Guess who colonized Ireland, (hint: it wasnt the english)

For some reason I listen to this song several nights a week before sleeping. It brings me a time of peace and remberance of when I visited Scotland. My family hails from Scotland. More specifically, Western Scotland around the Isle of Mull and Lock Lomand. I so want to return before I pass onto the next world. I live in NC, USA and the mountains are very much like Scotland. Keep the language and culture alive. It is needed to maintain the true heritage of one of the most beautiful ancient countries. If you happen to be living in Scotland, please don't disregard your heritage because it is priceless. And perhaps Scotland will regain it's Freedom, should God will it.
Make Scotland speak Gaelic (and Scots) again and make Ireland speak Irish and Wales speak Welsh and Cornwall speak Cornish and Brittany speak Breton and I hope those people in Nova Scotia can speak their Gaelic too. Edit: The Isle of Man should speak Manx.
Welsh is accually spoken by a lot of people in Wales around 30% of Welsh people can speak Welsh with 16% of people using it daily and 5% weekly and those numbers will probably increase in the future
No, keep them where they culturally belong. You force this on the south we'll say fuck you, we were part of Northumbria not the tiny pockets of gaidhlig and scots-ified English. Accept that a majority of us shouldn't have the languages of less than 4% of the country forced into our lives and culture when it never was part of our region's history.
My great great grandparents migrated to the UK from Iran in the 1500's all my life I have lived in scotland I speak romani and english my ancestors have lived here for ages alongside their kin traveling in tribes across the highlands. All my life I've been called a gypsy and i've been isolated from the land i call my home even though we've lived here for generations I am Scottish
Please include credits to the artist(s) who do the versions you post on here so that I don't have to go on a quest of listening to a bunch of different versions to find the same version.
I love Scotland, it's a very beautiful country. Gaelic is a very beautiful language, it's just a pity that so few people speak it and that it is disappearing.
I've been learning Gàidhlig and Gaelge and this is my 6th song that I'm learning to sing, its actually quite easy to learn, takes me about a week or less to learn a new song practicing about 40 minutes or more a day (I learn on my drive home from work, or during work). My mothers side ancestry is from Scotland and maybe some Irish, my family came to to southeastern Ohio so I'm Appalachian. Knowing these old mountains were shared pre pangea makes me feel more connected to my roots. I adore these languages and the land and find it therapeutic to speak in other languages and hope I can become proficient and help people to see its not as difficult as they say.
Greetings to all my Scottish mates from the heart of Caucasus,Azerbaijan Embrace your culture,lads,and revive your language as the Israelis did!🏴🇦🇿

The fact that most scots these days (my self included) cannae speak our native tounge is truly depressing that we're forced to speak a toung that aint our own
Tbf you aren't forced too, it's just society has moved away from gaidhlig to English. If you are from Edinburgh I don't think gaidhlig reached that far anyway.
Stuff like this makes me wish I chose Gaelic instead of French in S1, but here I am a few years later doing nat5 French and not knowing a single word of Gaelic.
I feel the same thing about Irish I only had a year of learning it but per pressure turned me of of it for a year or two, but theres a whole life time to learn it, you shouldn't give up on learning Gaelic
I finished school in 2021 and now starting my 3rd year of university soon and I wish my school taught gaelic because I would really like to learn it but it seems it is now only taught in gaelic schools and in the highlands, very hard for us folks from the central belt to learn our native language let alone use it due to the lack of speakers
@@weirdstonk729 Yeah even here in the highlands its optional and very few people choose to do it. In primary school we're taught French, but not Gaelic.
It would make sense, since this language group (celtic) derives originally from Greek scripture, though the orthography transposed to Latin scripture with the Romans (yet Greek influence remains, as does a little Hebrew).
This is a general muster call to anyone, Celtic or no, to learn their heritage language. Even if it’s only pleasantries and place-names, learn your heritage language. That goes for Irish, Scots, Welsh, Cornish, Manx, Bretons, Faroese, Native of America, Oceania, and Siberia, Africans, anyone. Don’t let your culture’s language die with you.
I'm learning Scottish Gaelic and Irish, because of Gael heritage. I have an Irish friend, and he is also learning Irish alongside me. Sadly no one to speak Scottish Gaelic to though.

Wait I get not writing because maybe there are some accents at such but reading should be ok if you know English and the Roman alphabet
Same in Brittany, there were a punition that, if you speak Breton, you would have a "symbol". If you see someone in your school speaking Breton, you have to give him the "symbol" and, if you have it at the end of the day, you would be punished severely (chores, extra homework, corporal punishment, detentions, a general mockery session organised by the teacher, fines, etc.)

I’m an American and I have Irish blood. I will gladly join our Scottish brothers for we are the Celts! 🏴🇮🇪🇺🇸
Gheibh sinn air ais ar neo-eisimeileachd a dh’ aithghearr. Gu ma fada beò Alba.

Beautiful
Absolument magnifique
This is rad dude!
this reminds me of Omal Maal a lot for some reason. Love it.
Wow! Such hauntingly beautiful song in a language I never thought Scottish people had originally. Hope they can revive it.
I took a series of classes in Scots Gaelic back in the Nineties. The teacher was leader of a Gaelic singing group called Keltoi. I have a couple of their CDs, one of which includes this song. It is a favorite of mine.
If you listen carefully, this song has a hidden “fuck you” directed towards the English at 0:26 for what they’ve done.
@An very person Br1it!sh
@@Mark_Jonas Scots are also British
@@ermin2248 no Scotland is their own country!
England hasnt done shit to Scotland. Scots want to be victims so much despite contributing a massive amount to the British Empire. Guess who colonized Ireland, (hint: it wasnt the english)
@@ermin2248 Scots are Brits. Scots are Celts
Thank you --and for the translation!
My great grandmother died a few days ago. We buried her today. Before we lowered her into the earth, I sang this song to her as a song of hope that this is what she sees now. Home in heaven. I miss you Grandma Muzz. Be at peace
God bless Scotland. Love from California. May this beautiful language never die out
I was born in Canada, but my Grandma was born in Scotland. I am about 60% Scottish and love the Country way more than other countries! Love from a fellow Scottish Man :)
Too bad, but if you are not born in Scotland the Scots don't consider you a Scottish man.
@@scottnewton9060 15 years ago, no one here would've considered that Punjabi Rajput in Holyrood a Scot, either. The landscape is pretty, but the soil isn't magic.
Viva la Scozia 🇮🇹🤍🏴
🏔♥️🏴 Greetings to the Scots from the North Caucasus. For us, you are brothers, since you are also mountaineers. Many of our peoples, like you, have forgotten their language during the years of the rule of foreigners, but this is not a reason to give up - look at the Jews who revived their language! I think we should strive for that.
(P.S. I'm sorry if there are mistakes, I wrote it through a translator)
@Марк Лепић Карачай.
Что касается евреев - я в принципе согласен, однако все же им удалось фактически с нуля восстановить свой язык, что я считаю должны сделать и шотландцы, ну и наши народы.
Im nordic I just really enjoy hearing Celtic and Gaelic its truely beautiful
I would learn one of their languages if it wasnt for the fact I would have no one to Converse it with
I am from the McPherson Clan and a small percentage of my dna is Nordic.
@@wormy3811 oh yeah sorry its beacuse we colonized and Allied with you lads. Im Heattic (Norwegian-Geatish) and we took great part in the North Sea expansion
Respect Scotland from Iberia
Even the SS respects Scotland
We want nothing of nazis.
For some reason I listen to this song several nights a week before sleeping. It brings me a time of peace and remberance of when I visited Scotland. My family hails from Scotland. More specifically, Western Scotland around the Isle of Mull and Lock Lomand. I so want to return before I pass onto the next world. I live in NC, USA and the mountains are very much like Scotland. Keep the language and culture alive. It is needed to maintain the true heritage of one of the most beautiful ancient countries. If you happen to be living in Scotland, please don't disregard your heritage because it is priceless. And perhaps Scotland will regain it's Freedom, should God will it.
Make Scotland speak Gaelic (and Scots) again and make Ireland speak Irish and Wales speak Welsh and Cornwall speak Cornish and Brittany speak Breton and I hope those people in Nova Scotia can speak their Gaelic too.
Edit: The Isle of Man should speak Manx.
Welsh is accually spoken by a lot of people in Wales around 30% of Welsh people can speak Welsh with 16% of people using it daily and 5% weekly and those numbers will probably increase in the future
@@ermin2248 Very good. Now let the same be with Gaelic and Irish.
@@garrychess2610 and Breton
@@ermin2248 That's good but 100% of people don't speak it and that's not good.
No, keep them where they culturally belong. You force this on the south we'll say fuck you, we were part of Northumbria not the tiny pockets of gaidhlig and scots-ified English. Accept that a majority of us shouldn't have the languages of less than 4% of the country forced into our lives and culture when it never was part of our region's history.
Long live Scotland🏴
Alba gu bràth!
In Italian “che mi” means that my, so it looks like “that’s my m o r b i u s”
Shut up
It just cam out 20-30 minutes ago!
Independence!🏴
We were asked, said no. Ask us again, we'll still say no. Nats still haven't won.
we don't want independence
@@JoRdi-ul4xg you don't want independence
In the Netflix show "Outlander", we can hear Gaelic Scot spoken.
My great great grandparents migrated to the UK from Iran in the 1500's all my life I have lived in scotland I speak romani and english my ancestors have lived here for ages alongside their kin traveling in tribes across the highlands. All my life I've been called a gypsy and i've been isolated from the land i call my home even though we've lived here for generations I am Scottish
We got it Ingen

ireland and scotland are such beautiful places
Please include credits to the artist(s) who do the versions you post on here so that I don't have to go on a quest of listening to a bunch of different versions to find the same version.

great song love from cape breton nova scotia
Cape Breton, beautiful place.
Gràdh do dh'Alba às na h-Innseachan! 🏴🇮🇳
I love Scotland, it's a very beautiful country. Gaelic is a very beautiful language, it's just a pity that so few people speak it and that it is disappearing.
its not really disappearing, there's still like 60,000 people who speak it and I know a couple who do. Its just not a very popular language
I've been learning Gàidhlig and Gaelge and this is my 6th song that I'm learning to sing, its actually quite easy to learn, takes me about a week or less to learn a new song practicing about 40 minutes or more a day (I learn on my drive home from work, or during work). My mothers side ancestry is from Scotland and maybe some Irish, my family came to to southeastern Ohio so I'm Appalachian. Knowing these old mountains were shared pre pangea makes me feel more connected to my roots. I adore these languages and the land and find it therapeutic to speak in other languages and hope I can become proficient and help people to see its not as difficult as they say.

Since the independence dates of Pakistan and India are on the 14th and 15th of Aug, a song about those two would be nice
Greetings to all my Scottish mates from the heart of Caucasus,Azerbaijan
Embrace your culture,lads,and revive your language as the Israelis did!🏴🇦🇿
What...
@@rizzospastis Hebrew was a dead language until the XX century
Glory to land of the fire!
Glory to Azerbaijan!
The difference is that gàidhlig is still alive and hebrew only was just revived.
@@BATO_BRX thanks,where are you from mate?

Beautiful, sounds like a song of Tolkienian Elfs!
The elvish language in those books is heavily based off of Scottish Gaelic and welsh. The elves themselves are pretty heavily based off of Irish, Scottish and welsh tales of the goodfolk (fae).
@@idonotliveinparaguay.2361 Sindarin is based on welsh, and Quenya is more loosely based on Finnish.
I'm a brazilian portuguese descent without relation with the Scotland or Celtic culture, but I am crying listening this song and I don't now the why.
Beautiful culture! Keep your language Scotland, is beautiful. ❤🏴
Best Scottish song since Auld Lang Syne. Long Live Scotland! 🇺🇲♥️🏴
Awesome song and language !
@A greek ship fan lmfao, I used this account by mistake, I wanted to use my main
True but not awesome human being ingen is, Ingen is pedophile
The fact that most scots these days (my self included) cannae speak our native tounge is truly depressing that we're forced to speak a toung that aint our own
Tbf you aren't forced too, it's just society has moved away from gaidhlig to English. If you are from Edinburgh I don't think gaidhlig reached that far anyway.
Stuff like this makes me wish I chose Gaelic instead of French in S1, but here I am a few years later doing nat5 French and not knowing a single word of Gaelic.
I feel the same thing about Irish I only had a year of learning it but per pressure turned me of of it for a year or two, but theres a whole life time to learn it, you shouldn't give up on learning Gaelic
I finished school in 2021 and now starting my 3rd year of university soon and I wish my school taught gaelic because I would really like to learn it but it seems it is now only taught in gaelic schools and in the highlands, very hard for us folks from the central belt to learn our native language let alone use it due to the lack of speakers
@@weirdstonk729 Yeah even here in the highlands its optional and very few people choose to do it. In primary school we're taught French, but not Gaelic.
-Ch is a sound we have in Greek, very interesting
in Polish too.
Indo-European unity
@@ermin2248 Im Aryan Pakistani, indo european unity soon
It would make sense, since this language group (celtic) derives originally from Greek scripture, though the orthography transposed to Latin scripture with the Romans (yet Greek influence remains, as does a little Hebrew).
Super klip😄😄
This is a general muster call to anyone, Celtic or no, to learn their heritage language. Even if it’s only pleasantries and place-names, learn your heritage language. That goes for Irish, Scots, Welsh, Cornish, Manx, Bretons, Faroese, Native of America, Oceania, and Siberia, Africans, anyone. Don’t let your culture’s language die with you.
well said brother
Would you like to see if you can find anything from Gotland? Swedens biggest Island? I would love to hear
I'm learning Scottish Gaelic and Irish, because of Gael heritage. I have an Irish friend, and he is also learning Irish alongside me. Sadly no one to speak Scottish Gaelic to though.
Freedom and Liberty!!
its morbin time
W LEGEND
Ashamed that I am born and bred Scottish but I don't understand a lick of Gaelic
Beautiful language! Greetings from Germany.
