in reply to [OT] Recruiting Non-English Speakers for a Perl-based Web Project

I just saw the Scots entry (which I didn't look at at first because I don't know much about it), and it's the wrong language. That's actually Scottish Gaelic, while Scots would look much more like English (being a germanic language rather than celtic), what you have there is very close to Irish (easiest way to tell the difference: the direction of the accents, ácute for Irish and grāve for Scottish Gaelic)

    Hi Eily,

    Thank you for yet another correction!

    Probably it's not that I have the wrong language so much as that I mislabeled it. Wikipedia confirms what you said, that it's Scottish Gaelic, also called "Scots Gaelic" or even "Gaelic". I'll rename it as "Gaelic" to be correct.

    I notice that I've got the wrong language family info for it as well, which will take a little time to correct. Edit: now updated. And that makes sense that it's got the same language family as Irish:   Indo-European > Celtic > Goidelic.

    Cheers, golux
