	goidelic - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com

		However today more and more people are learning the language, and the Scottish Parliament has afforded the language some official status, sparking hopes that Scottish Gaelic can be saved from extinction and revived to a certain degree.

		The Manx language (Gailck) is one of the Goidelic Celtic languages, sharing a common ancestry with Irish (Gaeilge) and Scottish (Gaedhlig).
		It Is generally accepted that the Goidelic languages are "older" in the sense that they preserve features that the Brythonic have dropped, being therefore a closer match to an original Common Celtic tongue.
		The language "grew up" in isolation during the majority of the last 500 years, separated from the common Gaelic poetic and prosaic heritage and the literary styles accompanying them on the one hand, and isolated first by legislation, and later by orthography and (to an extent) grammar and vocabulary from its cousins, Gaeilge and Gaedhlig.
