'''Gaelic''' refers to three closely related modern [[Indo-European]] [[Celtic]] languages spoken on the islands [[Great Britain]] and [[Ireland]].  Irish Gaelic, usually known as ''Irish'' (or ''Gaelige'' 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]]. Scottish Gaelic was at one stage the dominant (but never the only) language in [[Scotland]].  These three languages form the Goidelic (from ''goidel'' (Ir.)= an Irishman) group of [[Celtic]] languages as opposed to the Brythonic group which comprises Welsh, Cornish and Breton.  Gaelic has been in danger of becoming extinct in many of the traditional Gaelic speaking areas, but now a Gaelic renaissance has slowed this trend if not yet reversed it.  In Ireland, for example, depending on where you are, many or all road signs are written in Gaelic, and the language is taught in their public school systems.
