Alba

Scotland

Population: 5.1 million. Capital: Edinburgh, but the main city is Glasgow. Two minority languages are spoken here: the native celtic language, Gaelic, and Lallans, an Anglo-saxon variant. Gaelic was never spoken in the Orkney and Shetland Islands. The people there used to speak a dialect of Norwegian called Norn but this is now extinct.

In this page, introductory information about the languages (Gaelic, Scots), and placenames tables for islands (in Gaelic), and another one for towns and cities (very large, Gaelic and Lallans). Also, below, Gaelic in Nova Scotia (Canada).

Nova Scotia

The province of Nova Scotia (originally inhabited by the Micmac) in Atlantic Canada was colonised mainly by immigrants from Scotland. Those frome the Highlands brought Gaelic with them, and the language has survived till our days. Now only a few hundred native speakers are left, mostly elderly people, in Antigonish and Guysborough counties and Cape Breton island. New learners and revivalists have appeared among younger generations.

Ehundaka batzuk jatorrizko hiztun geratzen dira, jende zaharra batik bat, Antigonish eta Guysborough konterrietan eta Cape Breton uharteetan. Belaunaldi berrietarik, hizkuntzaren aldeko mugimendua eta hiztun ikasiak sortu dira azken urteotan.
