One could of course speak of a globalization of culture as well as of products, and that's usually somewhat a synonym for Westernization, which has positive or negative connotations, depending on who or where you are, of course. I'm interested (for a paper on globalization) in knowing whether this term exists in these senses in other languages and what the connotations are within those languages.

Extractions: Regional Vice President Clan MacLeod Society There has been an incredible resurgence of interest in the language of our ancestors in recent times. Thankfully, many people around the world are once again learning the ancient language of the Gael. And for those of you that have tried it, it's not easy, is it? What makes Scots Gaelic (Gàidhlig - pronounced "Gah-lick") so difficult to learn is that there are few people that speak it fluently outside of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland (which makes practicing difficult), coupled with the fact that it just doesn't sound like it looks to a native English speaker. Hopefully, I can help with some of that in this series. Before we begin, I'd like to take a moment to thank Deborah White of Distant Oaks for her assistance with this series. Deborah teaches Irish Gaelic (Gaeilge) and Gàidhlig in the San Francisco bay area of California, USA, and provided lots of help, contributions, and corrections. There really isn't any substitute for having a living, breathing teacher ... If you'd like formal instruction, please let me know and I'll be happy to help you find a teacher in your area.

Extractions: -Free E-cards ... Links I. History By: Andrew V. Liaugminas The history of the Scottish Gaelic language begins in Central Europe in the 5th century B.C., where a new tribe was taking Europe by storm - the Celts. This tribe was a hospitable group, placing much importance on family and friends - and widely known for their strength and valor in combat, and strong sense of culture in time of peace. Winning battle after battle, the Celts eventually conquered most of modern Europe; occupying lands from the Iberian peninsula in the west, to the Scottish highlands in the north, spanning Europe to the Black Sea in the East, and touching as far south as Central Italy. During their history, the Celts gathered many names from the other tribes and cultures in Europe. The very word "Celt" comes from " Keltoi " (meaning "secret people"), which was the Ancient Greek name for the tribe. Regionally, the Celts who lived in the Iberian Peninsula were identified as

Extractions: Back to Scotland The majority of Scotland's population speak English, a consequence of England's political and cultural domination during 3-400 years. But there are two other - lesser known - languages that have been there far longer, and they are still there. That's Gaelic and Scots. A thousand years ago the majority of the Scottish population spoke Gaelic. Nowadays the language has largely been reduced to the Highlands and Islands. By the latest census in 1991 the language was brought down to 66.000, a poor 1,5% of a population of 5+ million. And it is still falling, since the 66.000 are mainly elderlies. Gaelic is a very endangered language. But during the last 20 years it has experienced a revival which is part of the rising awareness - or creation of - a separate Scottish identity. Pop and rock stars sing in Gaelic, all the political parties want to protect Gaelic. There is a growing movement for Scottish Kindergartens/Pre-schools. Many schools now teach what was once a proscribed language and TV and radio broadcast in Gaelic. Together with tartan and whisky and bagpipes Gaelic is part of the romantic Scottish myth, and most Scots believe it is Scotland's aboriginal language. They also believe it is impossibly difficult.

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

Extractions: I. The Early Gaelic Language (from Learning Irish, by Mícheál O Siadhail, Yale Univ. Press, 1988) Irish is one of the many languages spoken across Europe and as far east as India, that trace their descent from Indo-European, a hypothetical ancestor-language thought to have been spoken more than 4,500 years ago. Irish belongs to the Celtic branch of the Indo-European family. It and three other members of this branch Scottish Gaelic, Welsh, and Breton are today alive as community languages. The form of Celtic that was to become Irish was brought to Ireland by the invading Gaels about 300 B.C., according to some scholars. Later it spread to Scotland and the Isle of Man. Scottish Gelic and Manx gradually separated from Irish (and, more slowly, from each other), and they can be thought of as distinct languages from the seventeenth century onwards. The term "Gaelic" may be used to denote all three. It appears that the early Irish learned the art of writing at the time of their conversion to Christianity, in the fifth century. After that, the language can be seen to go through four stages of continuous historical development, as far as its written form is concerned: Old Irish (approximately A.D. 600-900), Middle Irish (c. 900-1200), Early Modern Irish (c. 1200-1650), and Modern Irish. Throughout this development Irish borrowed words from other languages it came into contact with, pre-eminently from Latin, from Norse, from Anglo-Norman (a dialect of French), and from English. From the earliest times, Irish has been cultivated for literature and learning. It in fact possesses one of the oldest literatures in Europe.

Extractions: Scottish Gaelic language A form of Gaelic was brought to Scotland by Irish invaders about the 5th century, where it replaced an older Brythonic language, also of Celtic origin. Celtic tribes contacted there with Picts, a non-Indo-European nation who inhabited the British Isles before Indo-Europeans came. Picts left nothing in Scottish language except some geographical names and special herbs' terms. By the 15th century, with the accretion of Norse and English loanwords, the Scottish branch differed significantly enough from the Irish to warrant definition as a separate language. And nowadays these two languages, though have very much in common in dictionary and grammar, are different. The alphabet of Irish and Scottish Gaelic is identical, consisting of 18 letters. Scottish Gaelic employs four cases of nouns: nominative, genitive, dative, and vocative (Irish uses three). Like Irish , the accent is ususally on the initial syllable. Scottish Gaelic exists in two main dialects, Northern and Southern, roughly geographically determined by a line up the Firth of Lorne to the town of Ballachulish and then across to the Grampian Mountains, which it follows. The Southern dialect is more akin to
