As t-Fhoghar chuir mi beagan làithean seachad ann am Baile a' Chrìch. Mar sin, nach toir sinn sùil air eachdraidh Gàidhealach is Lochlannach ann an Gall-Ghàidhealaibh

Now then! At Christmas time I was at the Guildhall in York. Come along with me to see this amazing Medieval building!

Have you ever been to the Scottish Parliament? Well here's a look at some of the great work being done to protect our languages there.

The language of my ancestors! Well, some of 'em, anyway. Hope to learn someday :-) #Scotland #ScotsGaelic #ScottishGaelic #Language #Linguistics https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/scottish-gaelic-revitalization-efforts-span-north-america-1.7245666

If you don’t like non-binary Gaelic speakers using iad/iadsan in the singular, that’s fine. That’s your opinion. But they’re not WRONG or using the language INCORRECTLY. There’s no such thing as correct/incorrect language, just language that a community of speakers uses and understands, and language that they don’t. Saying that enby gaelic speakers/learners are “imposing” their usage on others is not only ignorant and transphobic, but linguistically false.

What’s the most commonly used Gàidhlig swear word?

"Morning Has Broken" is a #Christian #hymn first published in 1931. It has words by English author #EleanorFarjeon and was inspired by the village of #Alfriston in #EastSussex, then set to a traditional #ScottishGaelic tune, "#Bunessan". It is often sung in children's services and in #funeral services. English #popMusician and #folkSinger #CatStevens included a version on his album #TeaserAndTheFirecat (1971).

Guides I wrote a while ago about ‘being’ in Sc. Gaelic and in Irish (tha/tá/bí verbs vs the copula ‘is’). They’re fairly comprehensive and, I hope, helpful to learners:

I haven’t shared them in a while, so maybe it’s worth linking them again. :)

Shin sibh, a charaidean! Welcome to York Minster!

This is a terrible time of year!

Not only is it dark most of the time in the Northern Hemisphere (Gaelic speakers aptly call the last month of the year An Dùbhlachd ‘The Darkness’)

But most of December is basically an assault on those of us who value routine and sameness

Then the liminal period between Christmas and New Year is an opportunity for media (including social media ‘content creators’) to put out low-effort compilations and retrospectives – which for the most part none of us want to read/watch/listen to

And now, a few days into the year, comes the awkward period when I would dearly love some social contact, but I don’t want to pressure any of my friends into talking or meeting up because they probably need a break from all their excess socialising in December (which I did none of)

It may be November now but a lycanthropy hyperfixation is forever.

My current hyperfixations:
Lycanthropy and wolves - since 2012, including the mythological history of lycanthropy (specifically Greek with the myth of Lycaon.)
Lingustics - since 2019, a lot of languages explored (not to fluency, dear God) including Old English, "Ænglisċ" with its script, futhorc, English's sister language, Frisian, Arabic, Welsh and Scottish Gaelic, various Romance languages including Latin itself, Greek, a few Slavic languages (Russian, Ukrainian and Polish specifically. I know how to read Russian-varient Cyrillic), Japanese, Korean, a few conlangs like toki pona and Esperanto. I got a 5 in both English and French language GCSE without studying. I also know how to read the IPA.
Poetry - since 2020, 120 poems have been written and counting, organised into ~45 subfolders.

My previous hyperfixations:
Biology - 2011-2015, especially neuroscience.
Astronomy - 2012-2016
Vexillology - 2019-2021, I can recognise most national flags.
