The Goidelic languages (Irish: teangacha Gaelacha, Scottish Gaelic: cànanan Goidhealach, Manx: çhengaghyn Gaelgagh), also known as Gaelic or Q-Celtic languages, represent a branch of the Iselceltic languages the Goidelen. Confusingly, all three languages are usually referred to as "Gaelic," the speakers are called Galen.
The following individual languages are included: Schottisch-Gälisch (Gàidhlig) Manx (Gaelg), extinct in the 20th century and to a certain extent revived
The three goidelic languages are very linguistically similar and historically formed a dialectic continuum from Ireland across the Isle of Man to Scotland. The extinct Manx is closer to the Scottish Gaelic than the Irish. All modern Goidelic languages refer back to early medieval Irish (Old / Middleiric), but the term "Goidelisch" also includes older language levels such as Archaic Irish (before 600 AD, documented in Ogam) Weblinks Edit sourcetext Wiktionary: Google - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Wiktionary: Google - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Celtic languages
