Gaelic and Irish are languages. Both of them are actually just a part of a bigger Goidelic branch. Gaelic is Scottish, and it is an indigenous dialect to Scotland, while on the other hand, the Irish dialect was basically originated from Ireland. This fact is obvious from Ireland. We can form the Irish. The Scottish Gaelic is a part of the minor languages spoken in Europe, and therefore it is not classified as a language under the roster of the European Union’s official languages.

The Irish are although basically also being considered as a minority language in Northern Ireland; it is still regarded as an official European Union language. The Scottish Gaelic has a very grave accent. It sometimes also as an acute accent, while the Irish are majorly acute. Scottish Gaelic writing has many hyphens in writing suffix, like in the writing of “sa” in connection to prepositional pronouns while the Irish notation whereby, there is no use of the hyphen.
