I have it on good authority from several Irish persons that the name of the Irish language in English is Irish. In Irish it's gaeilge. Gaelic is normally reserved for the language of Scotland Gaeilge na hAlban (or Gh`aidhlig in Scossgallic) Csirz -Original Message- From: lute-...@cs.dartmouth.edu [[1]mailto:lute-...@cs.dartmouth.edu] On Behalf Of Anthony Robb Sent: Friday, February 05, 2010 11:04 AM To: nsp@cs.dartmouth.edu; Paul Gretton Subject: [NSP] Re: Gaelic Pronunciation OK so it doesn't butter your parsnip!

Good point! Similarly, we don't say Deutsch when we mean German or Nederlands when we mean Dutch. In the same vein, it annoys me when various BBC pundits talk of the language of Iran as being Farsi as opposed to Persian. (It seems btw that the Persian equivalent of the Academie Franc,aise would in any case prefer us to use Persian.)
