Gaeldom

The term Gaeldom refers to areas in which the Gaelic languages, namely Irish, Manx, and Scottish Gaelic, are spoken.

The word may specifically refer to:

  • An Ghaeltacht, Irish speaking parts of Ireland (see also Gaeltacht Quarter, Belfast)
  • A' GhĂ idhealtachd, areas of Scotland where Scottish Gaelic is spoken

Usage examples of "gaeldom".

The continuity of language and culture between these two divisions of Gaeldom has clearly brought about this identity of their folk-tales.

Every Celt of these islands or in the Gaeldom beyond the sea, and every Celt-lover among the English-speaking nations, should regard ii as one of the duties of the race to put its traditions on record in the few years that now remain before they will cease for ever to be living in the hearts and memories of the humbler members of the race.
