Tha gradh agam ort!

If you get into the Highlands of Scotland you will see that all signs get bilingual: the names of places are written in Gaelic and English. Gaelic is a set of three languages spoken in Ireland and Scotland. They are close to each other and quite close to the Irish language.

In Scotland there are around 57000 people speaking Gaelic which is around 1.1 % of the population – but it is an official language there. The language code is GD according to ISO 639-1. If you want to say “I love you!” in Gaelic then it would be “Tha gradh agam ort!“.
