Gaelic refers to three closely related modern [[Indo-European]] languages spoken on the islands [[Great Britain]] and [[Ireland]]. Irish Gaelic, usually known as ''Irish'' (or ''Gaeilge'' in its own speech), is spoken on the Island of [[Ireland]], Manx Gaelic on the Isle of Man, and Scottish Gaelic (or ''Gaidhlig'') in the Western [[Highlands of Scotland]] and The [[Hebrides]]. Gaelic has been in danger of being exterminated in many of the traditional Gaelic speaking areas, but now a Gaelic renaissance has slowed this trend if not yet reversed it.
