Other curiosities about the Scottish Gaelic language

It belongs to the Goidelic Celtic branch. It is closely related to Irish and Manx, sharing origins in Old Irish introduced to Scotland in the early centuries AD.
It uses a Verb-Subject-Object (VSO) word order. Unlike Spanish or English, standard sentences begin with the verb at the start of the clause.
It uses grave accents for long vowels. Modern orthography uses grave accents (à, è, ì, ò, ù) to indicate vowel length and alter word meanings.
It has an active community in Canada. There is a living variant known as Canadian Gaelic, historically preserved on Cape Breton Island (Nova Scotia) by descendants of Scottish emigrants.
It holds official protection and promotion status. Thanks to the Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act 2005, it enjoys official recognition in Scotland, featuring bilingual signage, its own TV channel (BBC Alba), and Gaelic-medium immersion schools.
