Re: Irish vs. Scot Gaelic

My experience is that you have to learn Scots Gaelic, though it's very easy
if you speak good Irish.
It's not a dialect. Dialects are mutually comprehensible. It's a separate
language.
Before I learnt some of it, I could get the gist of it but no more.
Some of the key words are very different.
Also, Irish = chomh maith, freisin. SG cuideacht.
Very Irish = an- ana-. SG glé-
etc.
