Scottish Gaelic is spoken by about 60,000 people, primarily in Scotland, with smaller communities in Nova Scotia and Canada, where the language's heritage remains significant. Part of the Indo-European family, it is written in the Latin alphabet with a unique verb-subject-object (VSO) word order. The language features four grammatical cases, two genders, and fusional morphology, with 11 vowel sounds and 30 consonants giving it a rich phonetic depth. Scottish Gaelic is renowned for its oral storytelling tradition, songs, and poetry, all central to Gaelic culture. Efforts to revive the language have seen increasing interest in Gaelic-medium education and cultural programs across Scotland and beyond.
