Irish is a Celtic language spoken in mainly Ireland (Éire). There are also Irish speakers in the UK (Ríocht Aontaithe), the USA (Stáit Aontaithe Mheiriceá), Canada (Ceanada) and Australia (an Astráil).
Spoken Irish has three main dialects, Munster (Cork and Kerry), Connemara and Ulster (Donegal).
Scottish Gaelic is quite similar but the spelling system is a little different. Actually the consonants are much the same, but the vowels differ quite a lot. The other Gaelic language is Manx which has a spelling system based on English. As a result the spelling is totally unrelated to the grammatical structure. This is a bit difficult to deal with.
