This is so fascinating. I've always loved how poetic the ancient British Island languages were, and you can even see this influence in modern Irish and Scotch Gaelic. Thanks for the recs!
What's really cool is that a lot of words from Old Irish are recognizable in modern Scots Gaelic and Irish! Kind of like how learning Latin helps with Romance languages the same can be applied here!
I'm trying to understand the difference between Old Irish, Medieval Irish and Medieval Gaelic. They seem to be used interchangeably, but I'm not quite sure that is true. Can you help? Thanks!
They are fairly interchangeable. Old Irish is the general term used in academia for it, although Medieval Gaelic more appropriately addresses the fact that Scotland also used the language for some time.
I’m amazed at how much studying, learning ,and researching you had to do to attain your Masters degree in Celtic Studies. I can see that it took a lot of commitment and effort on your part. Kudos to you!
