are scottish and irish gaelic similar?

Question

if they are out of 1-10 how similar are they

Answer 1

They are very,very similar (about a 7.5).Theres only some small pronunciation and spelling differences between them.The verb tenses have slightly different arrangements but mostly its pretty similar.

Answer 2

Yes, and probably still mutually intelligible to a large degree just like Swedish and Danish. (On a 1- 10 scale I'd say 7.5, maybe 8).

Scottish Gaelic is basically just an older more conservative form of Irish Gaelic. Scotland had close ties to Ireland until the 15th century. After that, the two Gaelics started going their separate ways.

Since the Scots originally came from Ulster in northern Ireland, Scottish Gaelic resembles the northern Irish dialects of Tir Chonaill, Fermanagh, and Tyrone (now all extinct or nearly extinct) more closely than the southern Irish Gaelic dialects of Munster and Connaught. For example, Scots Gaelic's use of "Cha / chan" to form negative sentences is a northern Irish Gaelic characteristic. Southern Irish uses "Ní / Níl" instead. The Scottish Gaelic word for "rain," fearthinn is derived from northern Irish Gaelic fearthinne (pronounced fair-hinn-uh) whereas southern and standard Irish Gaelic use báistí (pronounced boss-chee) more often instead.

Answer 3

very similar
