There are actually two types of Gaelic - Irish Gaelic (Gaeilge) and Scottish Gaelic (Gàidhlig). Where I'm from, Cape Breton, there are still some people that speak Scottish Gaelic. I would love to learn how to speak it, seeing as how I have Celtic roots, but I only know a few words and phrases.

In Scottish Gaelic:

"My name is..." = "S mise..."
(pronounced SMIH-shuh)

"Ciamar a tha sibh?" = "How are you?"
(pronounced KIM-mer uh HAH shiv?)

"An toir thu dhomh pòg?" = "Will you give me a kiss?" (pronounced Un TUH-r oo ghawnh pawk?)

"A bheil Gàidhlig agaibh?" = "Do you speak Gaelic?"
(pronounced uh vil GAH-lik AH-kiv)
