The modern languages within the Gaelic language family are, however, Modern Irish (or Irish Gaelic), Scottish Gaelic, and Manx.

On the other hand, Gaelic today usually simply refers to Scottish Gaelic, and if that is what you meant then that is, of course, fine.  Just to make sure though, here is a Celtic language tree for reference (Archaic Irish should be on there as well, but I was unable to find one that included it, most likely because we only have fragments of it today):

I hope this proves useful in eliminating any confusion.

(Also if you wanted an ancient language from that area that did not become a language family, Pictish is a distinct, unclassified language from Scotland with no modern descendants unlike ancient Irish languages.)

I'll be using scottish.

I have no idea why. It's really dysfunctional, and to be honest, quite silly.

There ought to nations that are heterogeneous w.r.t. languages as well...


RE: Language Discussion - rhinotaz - 10-20-2015

There will always be heterogeneous nations, but did you see the sheer amount of different languages he has?


RE: Language Discussion - Qwert - 10-20-2015

Not sure. But Ryccia does not exist any more.

That's a very different situation. China has fairly similar languages, to any of which we can draw a similar point of origin. Ryccia has some languages that bear nearly no resemblance.
